Hi my Dear tutor, I have the same type of question but I would like to compare them with one another by showing one important detail for me and I will seperately solve it and will want to show it. Question 31 Before issue of 5 shares @ 5$======25$ After issue of 1 share @ (5$*0.8)-4$$==4$ TERP=29$/6 shares=4.83 Alternative way cash raised=2000$ right issue shares=2000/4=500 or existing shares in number 2500/1$=250081/5=500 existing shares=2500/1$=2500 Total shares after market listing=500+2500=3000(ordinary shares) TERP=500*4$+2500*5$/500+2500=4.83$ I know debit and credit does not need here but I just would like to touch my main point for the second question. Debit cash-2000 Credit SC--500 (500*1$) Credit SP-1500 (500*3$=(4$-1$) In the Question 4 there has not been given ex-dividend share price like compared to Question 32. Net cash raised after issue cost=3200000 Total cash raised before issue cost=3200000+100000=3300000$ Right Issue shares=3300000/2.50=1320000 Existing shares=5000/0.50=10000000 Total shares after market listing=10000000+1320000=11320000 Let us find ex-dividend market price per total shares=1600000*(1.03)/0.09-0.03=27466667 Ex-dividend market price per share=27466667/10000000(existing shares number)=2.75$ If I find here ex-dividend market price per share then TERP=1320000*2.50+2.75$*10000000/11320000=2.72$ Debit cash raised-3300000$ Credit SC-660000-(1320000*0.50$) CreditSP-2640000-(1320000*(2.50$-0.50$-nominal value) In the question 31, ex-dividend market price is given but in the question 4 this figure has not been given and I found it(ex-div market price per share) in the question 4 and divided it into number of ordinary shares before right issue shares addition.is this right?Based on this I found TERP in the qustion 4. I do not know my approach in the question is right to find it or not but the question does not ask itself to find TERP. I solved all these two questions and there was not any problem but for analysis I would like to know it. Thanks in advance

But what is it you want to know? You say that you have agreed with the answer so I don't understand the problem. Please do not expect me to type out all my lectures here :-)

In the question 31, ex-div market price per share has been given and therefore TERP can be found but in the question 4 the ex-div market price per share has not been given and I would like to know that did I calculate it correctly and did i find TERP correctly?

I do not expect from you you type the whole lecture here I just wrote both question for comparison.

In question 4 there is no rights issue and therefore no TERP. Rights issues are issues of shares to existing shareholders. This is an issue of new shares to new shareholders.

Dear Tutor, I found et us find ex-dividend market price per total shares=1600000*(1.03)/0.09-0.03=27466667 Ex-dividend market price per share=27466667/10000000(existing shares number)=2.75$ I found here current ex div market price per share by dividend valuation method then I calculated TERP. I would like that is this possible to find it in this way?
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor6y ago#6
But that is what the examiner has done in his answer, so of course it is possible (except that as I replied before, it is not the TERP because there is no rights issue!!!)

Yes it is not right issue share price,it is a form of placing or initial public offer and i think it is placing as it is much cheaper than initial public offer because now I read it carefully but anyway. Usually right issue share price is given discount on current market share price but in this example what I confused is that I took total dividends of 1600000(1.6mln) multiplied it by (1+0.03) divided it into cost of equit of 0.09(9%)-growth rate of 0.03 (3%) and found current ex dividend market share in total which is 27466667 and divided it into existing shares of 10 milion(5000000/0.50$)=and found current market share price 2.75 $ given new share price of 2.50$ is still below 2.75$(current market price per share)-As i mentioned above if it is cheaper initial public offer and its price is below current market share price then it proves that it is placings not IPO. Understood now.
