Explanation / Answer

a. Price per share = EPS *P/E ratio

where, EPS = Total Earning/ Total number of shares

= 7000000/(600000+1100000+2200000+5000000)

= 7000000/8900000

= 0.7865

Price per Share = 0.7865*20.4

= 16.04

b. Own Holdings = 600000/8900000

= 6.74%

4.  Considering this question as independent from the above questions, the firm will raise $25000000 (i.e. $25*1000000) assuming all the proceeds are invested in the firm.

  Own Holding = 5/12 = 42%
