    Hi, on b) I calculated it as follows: 250 000 000/(50 000 000 + 500 000 000)= 0.45 per share. Is it not correct?
  2. Cristina
    same here- I was curious why we are not taking into account the 50 000 000 shares issued on the 1st of August in our calclations....
  3. allinenw
    it is taken into account but you need the weighted average for no of shares... 250m / 546m (not 550).
    the issue only took place in 1 Aug, 1 month after the start of the fiscal year

    hi
    Kindly help me with explaining how example two was Calculated
  5. Farhaan
    The solution for example 2 was very confusing for me so I referred to the study text and found these rules

    Note: If you have an issue of shares at full market price and a bonus
    issue, you apply a bonus fraction from the start of the year up to the
    date of the bonus issue. For example, if the bonus issue was 1 share
    for every 5 owned, the bonus fraction would be 6/5 (as everyone who
    had 5 shares now has 6)
    This applicable to c part of example 1

    while the rule below is for
    Bonus and market issues combined (EXAMPLE 2)

    If a question gives both a bonus issue and an issue of shares at full price:
    ? apply the bonus fraction from the start of the year up until the date of the
    bonus issue
    ? time-apportion the number of shares to reflect the cash being received
    from the market issue.

    Chris has not uploaded any lecture for ex 2, so we have to use the above rules

    Ignore the question marks they are meant to be bullet point lol

    June has no 31st day

    for example 1 (b) I am getting Basic EPS (250/546) = $0.46c (ie. .46cents)

    why or how did you get $45.80c? (ie.45dollars 80cents?)
  9. Shanoya
    update:
    seeing now its just your way of writing. where though there is a point after rather than before the digits since it as the cents (c) symbol at the end it is still read as cents only not dollars and cents.
    so unless you put the dollar sign ($) in front it is read as cents only.
    ok.

    This is definitely one of the more challenging areas of FR. It helped me get my head round it when I understood that the purpose of the rights fraction was to pretend the "free" shares had always been in issue so we can compare with earlier periods.

    in part c of example 1 you mentioned that for bonus issue the date is ignored and it is assumed that the bonus shares have always been in issue and accordingly we didn’t use weighted average approach for 125 shares, however in example 2 there is a bonus issue on 1st Dec of 2500 shares and as per the solution provided the bonus shares are weighted average for 4 months. Can you please clarify the approach to be followed with bonus shares?

    Hello
    MR
    would you pleas explain how you calculate 250M in the the last working no (D)
    because when I calculated I got 253.6 = 254 M .
    Thanks .

    I think because the price of share after 1 Feb X6 that we calculated were $1.38 per share, this is the price before of the period from 1 Feb X6 and to the end of the year we didn't have any change in the number of shares so, the price after are the same, Fraction = 1 and 600m*(5/12) = 250m

    Mr. Barlow.
    Can i trouble you with a question regarding example 1 d) at page 73 ?
    You did not cover this in your audio lecture, but the text of page 133 implies that the extra shares are 63M.
    I do not understand why we have to divide the 500m by 8
    Thank you in advance for your consideration.

    1 for 5 offered at £1.25 when the market value is £1.40

    So we are being offered 1share @ £1.25 = £1.25

    For every 5 share which cost us £1.40 each = £7

    So we now have 6 shares at a cost of £8.25 = 1.375

    Hi ,

    Thanks for your nice lectures,

    In part d since there are 500m shares for the price of $ 1.4 and since the right issue happened on 1st Feb 2006 31,so calculating the no of shares from 1-Jul 2005 until 31 Jan 2006 for Seven months ,why not just to multiply 500 X 7/12 = 292m shares since that was before the issue

    and then we calculate the no of share after the right issue.

    Thanks,
  20. Barb
    Because you need to apply the rights issue fraction to all periods prior to the rights issue

    Greetings
    My challenge is, if there is a full market price issue just before the bonus issue how do i treat that? I am failing to grasp it, if a qtn has a full market price followed by bonus issue.
  22. Dipesh Shrestha
    Under the example of the right issue, for next year do we take the number of equity shares 600 million ? (600*12/12 - assuming no any changes in the number)
  23. Syed mujtaba
    can you explain example 1 part d. where in ri8 issue.u have done this 5*1.40 and 1*1.25=8.25. my question is from where you get 5 & 1? kindly plzzz explain this.and also after & before issue
  24. alaya
    Hi,

    When we calculated the rights issue, why dint we include the additional 50m on 1st aug or the bonus issue in nov?
  25. P2-D2Tutor
    Hi,

    It is because each share issue is independent of the other, and so each part (a) to (d) is dealt with on an individual basis. It is important to understand how each issue of shares is dealt with individually before going on to anything more complex and a combination of the different scenarios.

    Thanks

    I want to stud ACCA online what shall I do??
  30. P2-D2Tutor
    Hi,

    If you're only looking to start the ACCA qualification then you want to be starting with the earlier papers. I'd recommend that you start by visiting the ACCA website (www.accaglobal.com).

    Thanks
