Bank of London is selling 2 million shares in an IPO. The target price is €25 per share.  The investment bank is asking for a spread of 7%.  We would prefer the spread to be lower, but fear that the investment bank will then want a lower offer price to reduce their risk.  How much money will the firm receive if the offer price is €25 per share and the spread is 7%.  If you insist on a lower spread and are willing to accept a price as low as €24 per share, then how high can the spread be before you would have preferred a 7% spread and €25 per share price?
