Respuesta :

Answer: $726000

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the total cost to DRK of the equity issue will be calculated thus:

Firstly, we'll calculate the implicit cost per share which will be:

= Increased price - Offering price

= $66 - $60

= $6

Then, the total implicit cost will be:

= $6 Ă— 110000

= $660000

Then, the total cost to DRK of the equity issue will be:

= Explicit cost + Implicit cost

= $66000 + $660000

= $726000
