Can they ask anything on rights issue as i cant see it in the syllabus guide.
And for financial ratios, can they ask us to calculate different types of earnings per share. Eg in south africa you get headline earnings and diluted earnings?
Rights issues can certainly be asked (and are asked reasonably often). It is one of the most important ways of raising finance.
With regards to earnings per share, things like diluted earning per share are examinable in Paper F7, but not in paper F9. In F9 it is simply total earnings divided by total shares.
