Hi, You are correct within your understanding of adding the 3,600 bonus shares to the figures but you then need to apply the bonus fraction to the now 11,600 shares in issue (8,000 + 3,600). The bonus fraction is the number before divided by the number after, which is 8,000 / 11,600. If you multiply this by the 11,600 and the 6/12 then you still get to the same answer. The answer shown takes a short cut that I doubt many would even try to do in the exam. Thanks
