Problem 18-03 Calculating Costs of Issuing Stock (LG18-4) Husker’s Tuxedo’s, Inc. needs to raise $260 million to finance its plan for nationwide expansion. In discussions with its investment bank, Husker’s learns that the bankers recommend an offer price (or gross price) of $50 per share and they will charge an underwriter’s spread of $2.25 per share. Calculate the net proceeds per share to Husker’s from the sale of stock. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) How many shares of stock will Husker’s need to sell in order to receive the $260 million needed? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
a)Net proceeds per share = Gross price - underwriter's spread
= 50 - 2.25
= $ 47.75per share
b)Number of shares to be sold = Proceeds to rais / Net proceeds per share
= 260,000,000 / 47.75
= $ 5,445,026 shares rounded
