    The net proceeds is $ 3,679,800.00

    Explanation:

    The net proceeds is the total proceeds less spread of 8% on the total proceeds as well as the administrative costs of $865,000

    Total proceeds ($38*130,000) $ 4,940,000.00

    Less 8% underwriter's spread

    (8% * 4,940,000.00) ($395,200.00)

    Administrative costs ($865,000.00)

    Net proceeds from the issue $3,679,800.00

    Ultimately, the net proceeds from the issue assuming it is completely sold out is $3,679,800.00

    The spread of 8% is necessary as paying it gives complete assurance that the underwriters would ensure all shares are sold in order to raise the required amount.
