The firm's legal fees, SEC registration fees, and other administrative costs are $350,000. The firm's stock price increases 15% on the first day.

    Underwriter's gross spread ($22 – $17) =$5 per share.
    Number of shares outstanding = ($66 million/$22 per share) = 3 million.
    Underwriting cost = ($5 per share x 3.0 million shares) = $15.0 million
    stock market value difference (opportunity cost) = ((22*1.15) -22) * 3000000 = 9,900,000 $
    legal fees, SEC registration fees, and other administrative costs = 350,000 $
    ==========================================================================
    total cost of issuing the securities = $25.25 million

    Hi
    the case in this question related to the Firm Commitment type of underwriting which means the underwriter agreed to buy the entire issue at a certain price (17 $ per share) regardless of the stock market price.
    so, Stump Inc. would have benefited from this increase simply by choosing the second type of underwriting which is the Best Efforts type.
    I hope this is enough answer
