Answer 1

Answer:

22.76%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The rate of return that Alpha Moose expects to earn on its project (net of its flotation costs) is

First step is to calculate Total amount raised Using this formula

Total amount raised = Initial investment/(1-Flotation cost)

Let plug in the formula

Total amount raised= $475,000/(1-2%)

Total amount raised=$475,000/0.98

Total amount raised= $484,694

Now let calculate the Rate of return

Rate of return = (595,000- $484,694)/$484,694

Rate of return=110306/$484,694

Rate of return= 22.76%

Therefore The rate of return that Alpha Moose expects to earn on its project (net of its flotation costs) is 22.76%
