3-9 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$141,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.06)
Check:
3-10 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
Check:
Total amount issued = $250,000,000 = $1,000 x 250,000
3-11 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$115,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.08)
3-12 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$600,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.04)
Amount of issue = $600,000,000/0.96 = $625,000,000
3-13 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$95,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.05)
Amount of issue = $95,000,000/0.95 = $100,000,000

3-14 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$345,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.08)
3-15 Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 – Flotation costs)
$225,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.10)
Amount of issue = $225,000,000/0.90 = $250,000,000
Number of shares = $250,000,000/$160 = 1,562,500 shares
3-16 Net proceeds = Amount of issue – Flotation costs
$345,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.065) – $576,000
Amount of issue = ($345,000,000 + $576,000)/0.935 = $369,600,000
3-17 Net proceeds = Amount of issue – Flotation costs
$84,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.03) – $487,000
Amount of issue = ($84,000,000 + $487,000)/0.97 = $87,100,000
Number of bonds = $87,100,000/$1,000 = 87,100 bonds
3-18 Net proceeds = Amount of issue – Flotation costs)
$360,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.04) – $288,000
Amount of issue = ($360,000,000 + $288,000)/0.96 = $375,300,000
Number of shares = $375,300,000/$60 = 6,255,000 shares

If 6,255,000 shares are issued:
3-19 Net proceeds = Amount of issue – Flotation costs
$175,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.025) – $500,000
3-20 Net proceeds = Amount of issue – Flotation costs
$192,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 – 0.08) – $280,000
