The Huff Co. has just gone public. Under a firm commitment agreement, Huff received $21.50 for each of the 6 million shares sold. The initial offering price was $23.65 per share, and the stock rose to $31.42 per share in the first few minutes of trading. Huff paid $1,260,000 in direct legal and other costs, and $390,000 in indirect costs. The flotation costs were what percentage of the funds raised? 
 
A. 
38.56 percent

B. 
40.32 percent

C. 
41.68 percent

D. 
48.03 percent

E. 
49.09 percent
Net amount raised = 6m ($21.50) - $1,260,000 - $390,000 = $127,350,000
Total direct costs = $1,260,000 + ($23.65 - $21.50) (6m) = $14,160,000
Total indirect costs = $390,000 + ($31.42 - $23.65) (6m) = $47,010,000
Total costs = $14,160,000 + $47,010,000 = $61,170,000
Flotation cost percentage = $61,170,000/$127,350,000 = 48.03 percent

The Metallica Heavy Metal Mining (MHMM) Corporation wants to diversify its operations. Some recent financial information for the company is shown here:

   

MHMM is considering an investment that has the same P/E ratio as the firm. The cost of the investment is $800,000, and it will be financed with a new equity issue. What would the ROE on the investment have to be if we wanted the price after the offering to be $115 per share? Assume the PE ratio remains constant. 
 
A. 
18.28 percent

B. 
21.41 percent

C. 
27.63 percent

D. 
37.27 percent

E. 
40.03 percent
Current ROE = $451,000/($4,631,000 - $2,315,500) = 0.19477435
New net income = 0.19477435 ($4,631,000 - $2,315,500 + $800,000) = $606,819
Number of new shares = $800,000/$115 = 6956.522
New EPS = $606,819/(11,000 + 6,956.522) =$33.79
Current P/E = $115/($451,000/11,000) = 2.804878
Necessary EPS = $115 = 2.804878(Necessary EPS); Necessary EPS = $41
Necessary net income = $41 (6,956.522) = $285,217
New ROE = $285,217/$800,000 = 35.65 percent

Number of new shares = $70m/PS
NEx = 7m/($70m/PS) = 0.1PS
PX = $46 = [0.1PS($53) + PS]/(0.1PS + 1); PS = $27.06

Atlas Corp. wants to raise $4 million via a rights offering. The company currently has 450,000 shares of common stock outstanding that sell for $40 per share. Its underwriter has set a subscription price of $24 per share and will charge the company a 7 percent spread. Assume that you currently own 7,200 shares of stock in the company and decide not to participate in the rights offering. How much can you get for selling all of your rights? 
 
A. 
$24,911.21

B. 
$25,362.84

C. 
$25,792.19

D. 
$27,094.95

E. 
$32,811.16
Net proceeds to firm = $24 (1 - 0.07) = $22.32
New shares offered = $4m/$22.32 = 179,211.47
Number of rights needed per share = 450,000/179,211.47 = 2.511
PEx = [$24 + 2.511($40)]/(1 + 2.511) = $35.44
Right value = $40 - $35.44 = $4.56
Sale proceeds = $4.56 (7,200) = $32,811.16
