Waffle had share capital of $7.5 million in 50c equity shares at 1 October 20X6. On 1 January 20X7 it made an issue of 4 million shares 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 EPS for the year?
1. The answer is $0.50.
2. There are just the workings in the kit. Could explain those workings
Shares
‘000
B/f (7,500 / 0.5) 15,000
Full market price issue (4,000 × 9/12) 3,000
Bonus issue (18,000 / 3) 6,000
24,000
Thanks.
Because the issue at full price existed only for 3/4 of the year, it is the case that the bonus issue related to those new shares could also apply for only 3/4 of the year
Is it possible to apply a bonus fraction to non-existent shares? I believe not!
OK?
