Answer:
$294,412.8
Explanation:
In order to obtain a seat on the board of directors, Raul must hold more than 50 percent of the total number of outstanding shares if there are three open seats and straight voting occurs.
Total number of shares required = (46,000 ÷ 2) + 1
= 23000 + 1
= 23,001 shares
Market price of share = $ 12.80
Total amount = Total number of shares required × Market price of share
= 23,001 × $ 12.80
= $294,412.8
The amount Raul wants to invest on obtaining a seat on board of directors is $294,412.8
