    A) What is the underpricing spread? $15,000,000

    B) What is the underpricing on this issue? $9,900,000

    C) What is the firm's total cost of issuing the securities? $25,250,000

    Explanation:

    The total number of shares issued = $66,000,000 / $22 = 3,000,000 shares

    A) The underpricing spread = (public price - issuing price) x 3,000,000 = ($22 - $17) x 3,000,000 = $5 x 3,000,000 = $15,000,000

    B) Since the shares' price increased 15%, then the underpricing on this share issue = ($22 x 1.15%) x 3,000,000 = $3.30 x 3,000,000 = $9,900,000

    C) the total cost of issuing shares = underpricing spread + underpricing of the shares + administrative costs = $15,000,000 + $9,900,000 + $350,000 = $25,250,000
