Solutions for Question 6 (a) Since 10 rights are needed for each new share and there are 1 million shares outstanding, the number of new shares is
1,000,000 10
or 100,000. Each new share will provide $20 to the company so
the total funds raised will be 100, 000 × $20 = $2, 000, 000. (b) Ex-rights price: Ex-Rights Price = 1 (N × Cum-Rights Price+Subscription Price) N +1 1 [(10 × $25) + 20] = 10 + 1 = $24.55 (c) Value of one right = Rights on price ex-rights price = $25 - $24.55 = $0.45 Solutions for Question 7 In order to raise $2 million at $16 per share, 125,000 new shares must be sold. The number of rights needed to purchase a new share is:
# of rights per share =
total shares outstanding new shares issued 1M = 125, 000 = 8 rights per share
Ex-Rights Price =
1 (N × Cum-Rights Price+Subscription Price) N +1 1 = [(8 × $25) + 16] 8+1 = $24
To show that shareholders are as well off as before, consider a shareholder who owned 100 shares. Initially, the shares are worth $2, 500(100 × $25). The rights
