Answer:
Underwriting value = $12.75 x 19 million = $242.25 million
Return to the investment bank = Sale proceeds from IPO - Underwriting value
(1)
Sale proceeds from IPO = $13.5 x 19 million = $256.5 million
Return to the investment bank = $(256.5 - 242.25) million = $14.25 million
(2)
Sale proceeds from IPO = $12.25 x 19 million = $232.75 million
Return to the investment bank = $(232.75 - 242.25) million = - $9.5 million
In this case the investment bank incurs a loss.
