    The amount paid to the issuer is $2,971,080.

    Explanation:

    The total number of shares is 135,000.

    Though only 122,400 shares are sold to the public.

    The initial selling price is $24.

    The spread percentage is given at 8.3%.

    The amount paid to the issuer will be

    =Total number of shares*Initial selling price (1-spread)

    =135,000*24 * (1-0.083)

    =135,000*24*0.917

    =2,971,080

    So, the amount paid to the issuer is $2,971,080.
