Answer : value of right = 5m *8 +1.25*6 divided by 6.25m - $6 divided by 4 =0.40

4y ago#1There are currently $5M/0.5 = 10M shares in issue, and therefore they are issuing 2.5M new shares.
So the TERP is ((10M x $8) + (2.5M x $6)) / 12.5M = $7.60.
Therefore the value of the rights is 7.60 - 6.00 = $1.60 per each new share.
It needs 4 existing shares to get the right to 1 new share and therefore the value of the rights is $1.60/4 = $0.40 per existing share.
This is all explained in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
