Question

Why do you deduct or subtract 1 to flotation cost?

Example:

Given; 

  • Annual dividend (D) = $4.75
  • Flotation cost (F) = 0.05 or 5%
  • Number of shares issued (N) = 10,000
  • Stock price (P0) = $50

 

Formula;

Total value able to receive = N * P0 * (1 - F)

 

Total value able to receive = 10,000 * $50 * (1 - 0.05)

Total value able to receive = $500,000 * 0.95

Total value able to receive = $475,000
