Waffle had share capital of $7.5 million in 50c equity shares at 1st October 20X6. On 1st January 20X7 it made an issue of 4 million share at full market price immediately followed by a 1 for 3 bonus issue.
The financial statements at 30 September 20X7 showed profit for the year of $12 million. What was the EPS for the year?The answer is:
Shares (‘000)
b/f (7,500/0.5) 15,000
Full market price issue (4000×9/12) 3,000
Bonus issue (18,000/3) 6,000
Total 24,000
EPS= $12,000/24,000= $0.5
Now my question is why 18 million shares is divided by 3 when 15 million plus 4 million is 19 million shares. Bonus issue should be 1 for 3 on 19 million shares and not 18 million! Pls explain. I may be wrongHi,
As the bonus issue is done immediately after the rights issue, the 4 million shares issued under the rights issue would not be entitled to the bonus issue of shares. Therefore they only use the 18 million.
Thanks
