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%
