Compute the eps and the price

Reference no: EM13268530

Midland Corp has a net income of $19 million and 4 million shares outstanding. Its common stock is currently selling for $48 per share. Midland plans to sell common stock to set up a major new production facility with a net cost of $21,120,000. the production facility will not produce a profit for one year, and then it is expected to earn a 13% return on investment. Stanley Morgan & Co an investment banking firm, plans to sell the issue to the public for $44 per share with a spread of 4%.

A. How many shares of stock must be sold to net $21,120,000 (Note- no out of pocket costs must be considered in this problem)

B. Why is the investment banker selling the stock at less than its current market price?

C. What are the earnings per share (eps) and the price earnings ratio before the issue (based on a stock price of $48)? What will be the price per share immediately after the sale of stock if the P/E stays constant?

D. Compute the EPS and the price (P/E stays constant) after the new prodcution facility begins to produce a profit.

E. Are the shareholders better off because of the sale of stock and the resultant investment? What other financing strategy could the company have tried to increase earnings per share?
