15.2 Calculating Flotation Costs: The Wiley Oakley Co. has just gone public. Under a firm commitment agreement, Wiley received $21.39 for each of the 7.75 million shares sold. The initial offering price was $23 per share, and the stock rose to $26.30 per share in the first few minutes of trading. Wiley paid $1,350,000 in legal and other direct costs and $210,000 in indirect costs. What was the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised

Answer:

23.16%

Explanation:

net amount of money received by Wliey Oakley = 7,750,000 stocks x $21.39 per stock = $165,772,500

total flotation costs including direct and indirect costs = [($26.30 - $21.39) x 7,500,000] + $1,350,000 + $210,000 = $38,385,000

flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised = $38,385,000 / $165,772,500 = 0.2316 = 23.16%

MANAGING THE HEWLETT-PACK..
William R. Hewlett and David Packard, two organisational leaders who demonstrated
a
Eventually they built a very successful company that now produces more than 10,000
products, such as computers, peripheral equipment, test and measuring instruments, and
handheld calculators. Perhaps even better known than its products is the distinct managerial
style preached and practiced at Hewlett-Packard (HP). It is known as the HP way.
The values of the founders - who withdrew from active management in 1978 - still
permeate the organization. The HP way emphasizes honesty, a strong belief in the value of
people, and customer satisfaction. The managerial style also emphasizes an open-door policy,
which promotes team effort. Informality in personal relationships is illustrated by the use of
first names. Management by objectives is supplemented by what is known as managing by
wandering around. By strolling through the organization, top managers keep in touch with
what is really going on in the company.
This informal organizational climate does not mean that the organization structure has
not changed. Indeed, the organizational changes in the 1980s in response to environmental
changes were quite painful. However, these changes resulted in extraordinary company
growth during the 1980s.
Questions :
1.Is the Hewlett-Packard way of managing creating a climate in which employees are
motivated to contribute to the aims of the organization? What is unique abot the HP way?
2.Would the HP managerial style work in any organization? Why, or why not? What are
the conditions for such a style to work​
