Question

An investment banker agrees to a firm commitment offering of two million shares of Ace stock. The offer price is set at $55 and the spread is 50 cents per share. If the stock is actually sold to the public at $53.80, however, what is the investment banker's gain or loss?

Answer 1

Answer:

loss of $ 1,400,000.00

Explanation:

Amount of share : two million:

offer price per share: $55

selling price per share: $53.80

Loss per share: $1.20

Total loss= $1.2X2,000,000= ($2,400.000.00)

Earning from spread: 0.5x2,000,000.00 =$1,000.000.00

Net earning: (2,400,000.00)+$1,000,000.00=($ 1,400,000.00)

loss of $ 1,400,000.00
