a) Green Lantern Enterprises has just completed an initial public offering. The firm sold 4,300,000 new shares (the primary offering). In addition, existing shareholders sold 325,000 shares (the secondary issue). The new shares were offered to the public at $17.00 per share and underwriters received a spread of $1.32 a share. The legal, administrative, and other costs were $275,000 and were split proportionately between the company and the selling stockholders.

b) Suppose that on the first day of trading, the price of Green Lantern's stock is $21.20 per share. What is the cost to the firm from the underpricing?

c) Given that the company receives $67,424,000 from the issue before paying the direct costs and that the cost from underpricing is $18,060,000, what are the total costs of the issue to the firm as a percentage of the funds raised (the total amount paid by investors for the company's portion of the shares)? Enter your answer as a percentage.
