ACCA Past Exam papers – March/June hybrid 2018 31a – part ii

Hi,

I am currently doing past exam papers on the ACCA website in preparation for the March exam sitting.

I am struggling to understand the increase in PBIT to work out the revised EPS for the rights issue to raise Equity Finance.

I have correctly worked out the TERP for part 31ai)

Looking at the explanation for the answer, the workings say PBIT increases from 1597 to 1916, which then gives a revised profit after tax figure to work out the new EPS but no workings to back up where 1916 comes from.

How do I work out the revised PBIT?

Thanks
