Issuance of equity that will underprice the current stock price by 7%. Example

Option 2: If management finances the project through debt issuance, the one-year debt would cost $10.8 million ($10 X 1.08 = $10.8). Discounting it back one year with the management’s fair rate would yield a cost of $10.09 million ($10.8 / 1.07 = $10.09 million). Solution

The true value of the shares would be $10.75 million ($53.77 X 200,000 shares = $ 10.75 million). Therefore, the cost would be $10.75 million. Continue..
