    Question: The share capital at 1 November 20X2 comprised 1,800,000 ordinary shares of $0.50 each. On 1 February 20X3, Gibraltar Co made a 1 for 5 rights issue for $1 per share. The market price of existing shares prior to the rights issue was $1.60. No adjustment has been made for the rights issue.
    EPS of 20X2: 0.20

    Requirement: restate 20X2 EPS

    My answer: Profit of 20X2 = 0.20 * 1.800.000 = 360.000
    WA #Shares = 2.100.000
    360.000/2.100.000 = 0.17

    ACCA answer: Theoretical ex-rights value per share = $9/6 shares = $1·50
    Restated 20X2 EPS of 20c x $1·50/$1·60 = 18·75c rounded to 19c

    What am I missing here?

    You are approaching the question in correctly. To restate the prior year EPS then you need to use the TERP and apply it to the prior year figure. I’m not quite sure what you’re actually doing in your calculation.

    Thanks
