Hello. Just a quick question, why do we deduct the new shares bought in the rights issue from the total value? In this case the $1200 from the $10500? Don’t those new shares add to the wealth?
I’ve come across this older comment and thought I’d respond just in case it could benefit others viewing this video. We deduct the $1,200 because we’ve had to cover the costs of the rights issue and obtain the 200 shares.
