An investment bank agrees to underwrite an issue of 16 million shares of stock for Looney Landscaping Corp. a. The investment bank underwrites the stock on a firm commitment basis, and agrees to pay $10.00 per share to Looney Landscaping Corp. for the 16 million shares of stock. The investment bank then sells those shares to the public for $11.50 per share. How much money does Looney Landscaping Corp. receive? What is the profit to the investment bank? If the investment bank can sell the shares for only $8.75, how much money does Looney Landscaping Corp. receive? What is the profit to the investment bank?

What is the profit to the investment bank? If the investment bank can sell the shares for only $8.75, how much money does Looney Landscaping Corp. receive? What is the profit to the investment bank?
