. Sophia Co., is about to go public. Its pre-IPO equity accounts (Total of 150,000) are as follows:

Common shares (1,500 shares outstanding) 100,000
Retained earnings 50,000

Ikotun will issue 500 new common shares, each with a face value of $1 and an issuing price of

$150. Assume no issuance costs. On the first day of trading the price closed at $165.

The lead underwriter has a greenshoe option to issue an additional 10% of shares during the month following the IPO. The lead underwriter exercises the greenshoe option when the stock price climbs to $180 twenty days after the IPO. Whats the new ratio of price to book equity (per share)? (Assume no issuance costs.)

Two years after its IPO, the stock price reaches $250. At that moment, the management is considering a rights offering to raise an additional $200,000 for a significant expansion.

Firas, a shareholder of Sophia Co., has 100 shares and no desire (or money) to buy additional shares. Show that -in theory- Firas is not harmed by the rights offering (compare the value of Firas shareholdings with and with right exercising)
