Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
The required proceeds:
= Amount need to be finance ÷ (1 - 7%)
= $20 million ÷ (1 - 0.07)
= $215,05,376.34 (approx)
Hence, the number of shares needed to be issued:
= required proceeds ÷ Issue price per share
= $215,05,376.34 ÷ $50 per share
= 430,108 shares (approx)
Therefore, 430,108 shares they need to issue to cover the cost of the project plus all floatation costs.
