Explanation / Answer

Solution:

What is the net amount raised = $130,773,000

Proceeds from Sale of shares (4.11 million x $32.10)

$131,931,000

Less: Issuing Charges

Legal and other direct costs

($906,000)

Indirect costs

($252,000)

Net Amount Raised

$130,773,000

What are the total direct costs = $906,000

What are the total indirect costs = $252,000

What are the total costs = Direct + Indirect Cost = $906,000 + $252,000 = $1,158,000

What are the floatation cost as a percentage of funds raised = Flotation Cost / Proceeds from Sale of Shares

= $1,158,000 / $131,931,000 = 0.01
