Question 1
The enormous gap in value projections for the IPO had a big impact on Facebook's stock
price. Investors were unsure how much to pay for the quickly rising social media behemoth's
shares since they couldn't adequately gauge its value. As a result, the stock was valued by the
market at about $90 billion, which was lower than the low end of the forecast range. This
uncertainty resulted in a more conservative stock price, making it more difficult for Facebook to
raise as much money as it had intended via its IPO. It also meant that investors were less inclined
to buy shares than if the stock's worth had been more obvious. Overall, the wide range of value
expectations for Facebook's IPO resulted in a more conservative stock price and a lower overall
amount raised. Market consensus on the company's worth would have helped to remove this
valuation uncertainty.
Question 2
I have selected Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF) approach to assign a value to
Facebook. This approach is well-suited for the fast-increasing social media juggernaut since it
accounts for both future and current cash flows (Kruschwitz & Löffler, 2020). The DCF model
allows shareholders to assess a company's future and give a price to its shares appropriately. The
DCF model may also be used to give a value to a firm that is not yet profitable, as Facebook is.
This technique considers both the company's expected cash flows and the discount rate used to
value those cash flows when determining a stock's fair value. As a consequence, rather than
focusing just on previous performance, investors should consider estimates for the company's
future growth and profitability. When compared to other share price techniques, the DCF model
is the most dependable way for valuing Facebook due to its ability to account for its growth
possibilities.

The Financial Sector-End of Chapter Problem
You are discussing buying stocks with a friend and mention that you want to buy a few shares of Amazon stock. Your friend
says that's a terrible idea because Amazon has never paid dividends to its shareholders so you would never receive any of
Amazon's profits or make any money off the stock.
What might you say to your friend to defend your desire to purchase a few shares of Amazon stock?
You explain that
the price of Amazon stock will always have to rise because dividends are not paid.
the fundamental value of the stock is not determined by the dividends paid, but by the present value of future profits.
purchasing stock is better than purchasing bonds because stockholders are the first in line to get paid if the company
goes bust.
buying a few shares will give you a significant say in how Amazon will be run in the future.

The analysis that we have to provide is as follows:
Review the specifics of the IPO, including underwriting spread and other expenses. Consider the concept of underpricing and a higher than normal first day spike in stock price. What does this mean for the issuing company? What does this mean for the underwriter?

Mutt.Com's user-friendly system was designed to find buyers for unwanted pets. Within 3 years, the company was generating revenues of $3.4 million a year and, despite racking up sizable losses, was regarded by investors as one of the hottest new e-commerce businesses. Therefore, the news that the company was preparing to go public generated considerable excitement.
