Explanation / Answer

Answer for subpoint a:

Subscription price per share =$7.

Number of Shares before rights issue =12,000,000

Rights shares issue ratio is for every four shares one new share is issued.

Therefore new shares issued =12,000,000/4 =3,000,000

Total amount raised through rights issue =3,000,000 * $7 =$21,000,000.

Answer for subpoint b:

Expected market price after issue is calculated as follows:

Market value of the share before issue =$8.

Total market value of the shares =12,000,000 * $8 =$96,000,000--------(A)

Value of Shares raised through rights issue =$21,000,000---------(B)

Total value of shares after rights issue =A+B =$117,000,000-----------------(C)

Total number of shares outstanding =12,000,000+3,000,000 =15,000,000--------------(D)

Value per share after rights issue = C/D

=$117,000,000/15,000,000

=$7.80.
