Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) There are two standard compensation packages. The first is a firm-commitment approach. With firm commitment, the investment banker essentially buys the entire stock issue from the company at one price and then sells the issue for a higher price. A second compensation is a best efforts sale by the investment banker. Here, the investment banker pledges to do his or her best to sell the shares and will take a small percentage of the sale of each stock. The firm, however, is not guaranteed a specific amount from the saleonly the proceeds of the sale minus the commission paid to the investment banker on a per-share basis.

Answer to Question 2

D
