    (a) 1,370,000 shares

    (b) 42.19%

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Shares in a restaurant chain venture = 1,000,000 shares

    Price of each share = $1.00

    (a) To raise the additional $1,370,000:

    Shares will you need to sell:

    = Additional amount : Price of each share

    = $1,370,000 : $1.00

    = 1,370,000 shares

    (b) No. of Shares After investment:

    = Shares need to sell + Shares in a restaurant chain venture

    = 1,370,000 + 1,000,000

    = 2,370,000 shares

    Therefore, the fraction of the firm will you own after the VC investment:

    = (Shares in a restaurant chain venture : No. of Shares After investment) * 100

    = (1,000,000 : 2,370,000) * 100

    = 0.4219 * 100

    = 42.19%
