risk gold-mining venture in Canada. Lou and Shirley tentatively plan to request authorization for

establish par of $0.03 per share in order to appeal to a wide variety of potential investors. Lou and

A privately held corporation, is making plans for future investments that can increase growth. The company’s manager has recommended that the company “go public” by issuing common stock to raise the funds needed to support the growth. The current owners, who founded the firm, are worried that control of the firm will be diluted by this strategy. If the company undertakes an IPO, it is estimated that each share of stock will sell for $6.25, the investment banking fee will be 22 percent of the total value of the issue.
The founders now hold all of the company’s stock: 8 million shares. If the company issues 8 million shares, what proportion of the stock will the founders own after the IPO?
