    ans:share capital $687,500

    Have you watched the free lecture on this?

    First the is a bonus issue of 250,000 shares, so share capital increases by $125,000 and share premium reduces by the same amount.

    So now there are 1.25m shares.

    Then there is a rights issue of 1.25m/4 shares. Share capital increases by 0.50 per share, and share premium increases by 1.00 per share.
