Hi Sir,
I am currently doing revision on March/June 2018 past year paper. Referred to the question a- calculate the theoretical ex rights price per share.
Question:
If equity finance is used, a 1 for 5 rights issue will be offered to existing shareholders at a 20% discount to the current ex dividend share price of $5 per share. The nominal value of the ordinary shares is $1 per share.
Answer:
[(1x$4)+(4x$5)]/5 = $4.8
Based on the ACCA’s answer, I don’t understand why the share divided by 5 instead of 6?
Thanks.
hi
its 1 for 5
for 5 shares . 5*5=25
1 for 5 . 1*4= 4
29
ex right price . 29/6=4.83
