Answer:
Longard Corp.
The money that Longard Corp. receives is:
= $75 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of shares issued = 5 million
Investment bank underwriter pays per share to Longard Corp = $15
Stock price to the public = $20 per share
Total amount received from the underwriter = $75 million ($15 * 5 million)
b) The calculations show that the investment bank will eventually receive $100 million ($20 * 5 million) from the public offer. It then charges $5 per share (representing a total underwriting fee of $25 million). This is why it remits only $75 million to Longard Corp.

Answer:
a. $12.08 per share
Explanation:
For computing the next year stock we have to do the following calculations
Current Earning per share = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares Outstanding
= $9,750,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares
= $1.77
Current Price Earning ratio = Current stock price ÷ Current EPS
= $14.74 ÷ $1.77
= 8.33
Now Next year earning per share = $9,750,000 × 1.25 ÷ 8,400,000 shares = $1.45
So, the next year stock price = $1.45 x 8.33
= $12.08 per share
