    For every $5 we issue 4 shares

    And that’s where you get 4/5

    1 January to 31 May is 5 months

    1 June to 31 December is 7 months

    And that’s where we get 5/12 and 7/12 from

    I disagree with the Waffle answer!

    You ask “How do we get 18000/3???” I believe that the answer actually says 18/15 or even 15/3

    i disagree because I interpret this question as meaning that not only do the existing 15,000 shares qualify for the 1 for 3 bonus issue but so too do the 4,000 shares issued at full price – “4m shares at full market price immediately followed by a 1 for 3 bonus issue.” clearly indicates that the bonus issue followed the issue at full price

    I don’t think it is 6,000 and, even if I were to do it in the way the answer has done it, it’s still not 6,000

    I don’t know how the answer has arrived at 6,000

    I don’t have the question, nor the answer, nor access to the question, nor the answer

    Sorry 🙁
