Ans. Crew receives $86,163,750

Explanation:

Hi, the stock is actually sold to the public at $34.50 and the bankers commision is 3.45 cents/share ($0.0345/share), the revenue per share is $34.50 - $0.0345 = $34.4655.

Since there are 2,500,000 shares at $34.4655 per share, Crew receives:

2,500,000*$34.4655 = $86,163,750

Best of luck.
