LYFT IPO was issued at $72/share. Before the IPO, Lyft had 240 million class A shares outstanding and wanted to issue additional 30 million class A shares. On top of that, Lyft gave its underwriters options to purchase another 5 million shares at $72 each. When Lyft stock price fell below the IPO price of $72, to support the stock price, up to how many shares the underwriters could buy from the open market without losing money

5 million shares

Explanation:

In order to avoid losses, they can only buy the same amount of shares that they can receive in the options agreement with Lyft.

If they were to buy more than 5 million shares from the open market, they would incur losses because they would not be able to replace these shares with the ones that they can buy from Lyft as a result of their options aggrement.

i would prefer to go with the news article for nate, its recent and updated and stores a lot of information

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
