Hi, could anyone help me with this question?
The profit after tax for Barstead for the year ended 30 September 2009 was $15 million. At 1 October 2008 the company had in issue 36 million equity shares and a $10 million 8% convertible loan note. The loan note will mature in 2010 and will be redeemed at par or converted to equity shares on the basis of 25 shares for each $100 of loan note at the loan-note holders’ option. On 1 January 2009 Barstead made a fully subscribed rights issue of one new share for every four shares held at a price of $2•80 each. The market price of the equity shares of Barstead immediately before the issue was $3•80. The earnings per share (EPS) reported for the year ended 30 September 2008 was 35 cents.
Barstead’s income tax rate is 25%.I can’t figure out why the comparative basic EPS (2008) is calculated as: 35*3.6/3.8=33.2c
Many thanks.

IAS33: If there is bonus issue or right issue, the EPS from last year must be restated using a reserve the gross up factor
TERP = (No of old shares x Market price before rights issue) x (No of new shares x Price issue) / Total no of shares
= (4 old shares x $3.8 + 1 new share x $2.8) / (4 old shares + 1 new share)
= 18 / 5
= 3.6
–> Bonus weight (Bonus gross up factor) = Market price before issue / TERP = 3.8 / 3.6
–> Reserve gross up factor = 3.6 / 3.8
–> Restate EPS (2008) = 35c x (3.6 / 3.8) = 33.15c
