Answer:

$36

Explanation:

Computation for comparable firm 1

Price earning = Share price / Earning per share

= $50 / 5 = $10

Computation for comparable firm 2

Price earning = Share price / Earning per share

= $28 / 2 = $14

Average price earning = (Price earning of firm 1 + Price earning of firm 2) / 2

= ($10 + $14) / 2

= $12

Computation of stock price For STU

Stock price = Average price earning × Earning per share of STU

STU = 12 × ($3 million / $1 million) = $36

ipn [44]

Answer:

The amount of bond issuance is $2,085,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of bond issuance is shown below:

= Raise capital + attorney cost - underwriter spread

= $2,000,000 + $150,000 - 3% of $2,150,000

= $2,150,000 - 3% of $2,150,000

= $2,150,000 - $64,500

= $2,085,500

Hence, the amount of bond issuance is $2,085,500

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
