    I never knew we had to use a bonus fraction, in the lecture did it not say to assume shares were already in issue ?

    How did they get 30 million shares in question 3?
  6. Londiwe
    why are we multiplying the 30 million with 7/5?
  7. Hassan Bashir Ahmad
    in the first place how did they get 30 million?
  8. Hassan Bashir Ahmad
    That 7/5 is bonus fraction ... i.e. (2+5=7, there FRACTION IS 7/5)
  9. Uchenna
    It was gotten from 42million × 5/7 = 30million.
    This is because there was 42million shares in issue after a 2 for 5 bonus issue on 1st of March, which then brought about the 30million.
    Remember Mr Chris stated in his lecture under bonus issue in example 1c that an increased no. of shared on the bottom is gonna reduce the overall EPS which is why we have a deduction of 30million.
    Try studying the question again, I believe you will understand it.

    Thanks

    Where has 384 come from??
  11. hodonaxmed2019
    336*1/7=48
    336+48=384


    The real question is why did they do 63*4????
  12. isabellanova
    Number of shares is 63m * 25cents
    25cents is o.25 which is a quarter

    Hi,

    Found the answer to my question in my notes - With rights issue, for bonus element, assume they have always been in issue and thereforre adjust comparative.

    Thanks for the great videos.

    My question is for the question that asks "What is the earnings per share figure for the year ended 30 April, 2015?"

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    In the answer explanation, why is it "336 x 5/12 x 52/50". Shouldn't the 52/50 component be for "384 x 7/12", which refers to the rights issue?
    The 52/50 is for the right issue so why is it being calculated with the bonus issue component?

    Thanks,

    Seun
