Answer:

$23,300,000

Explanation:

Total IPO costs include both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are all the associated costs related to the IPO itself, while indirect costs equal the amount of money lost due to not pricing the stocks correctly.

total stocks issued = $120,000,000 / $50 = 2,400,000

total underwriting fees = ($50 - $47.50) x 2,400,000 = $6,000,000

other associated costs = $500,000

total direct costs = $6,500,000

total indirect costs = ($50 x 14%) x 2,400,000 = $16,800,000

total costs = $23,300,000
