    Hi… please explain why the number of shares for 1 April is 3,600,000 and not 1,200,000.
    Thank you so much.

    The Garfish Company had profits after tax of £3.0 million in the year ended 31 December
    20X7. On 1 January 20X7, Garfish had 2.4 million ordinary shares in issue. On 1 April 20X7
    Garfish made a one for two rights issue at a price of £1.40 when the market price of Garfish’s
    shares was £2.00.
    Required:
    What is Garfish’s basic earnings per share figure for the year ended 31 December 20X7,
    according to IAS 33 Earnings per Share?

    Hi,

    We will have issued 1,200,000 shares at 1 April and so there will now be a total of 3,600,000 in issue as there were already 2,400,000 in issue prior to the rights issue of shares.

    Thanks
