TERP ...........$2.5 per share issue .............($2) value of right $0.5 0.5/5 is $0.1 per existing share is my answer. but, in the answer sheet, $0.5/5 * 2 = $0.2 per existing share. I have no idea the reason they multiply 2 on this formula. what did I miss? Sir have nice dinner sir

They get 2 rights for every 5 shares. Therefore for every 5 shares they get rights worth 2 x $0.5 = $1.0 Therefore for every existing share it is $1.0 / 5 = $0.2
