Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

The required proceeds:

= Amount need to be finance ÷ (1 - 7%)

= $20 million ÷ (1 - 0.07)

= $215,05,376.34 (approx)

Hence, the number of shares needed to be issued:

= required proceeds ÷ Issue price per share

= $215,05,376.34 ÷ $50 per share

= 430,108 shares (approx)

Therefore, 430,108 shares they need to issue to cover the cost of the project plus all floatation costs.
