Question :

ABC Inc in considering a right offer . The company has considered that the Ex-right price would be the $52 . The current price is $55 per share & there are 5 Million shares outstanding .The right offer would raise a total of $60 Million .What is the subscription price?

Solution :

Attached Below 

 

. The number of new shares is the amount raised divided by the subscription price, so:
Number of new shares = $60,000,000/$Ps
And the ex-rights number of shares (N) is equal to:
N= Old shares outstanding/New shares outstanding
N= 5,000,000/($60,000,000/SPs)
N= 0.0833PS
We know the equation for the ex-rights stock price is:
Px = [NPRo + Ps/(N + 1)
We can substitute in the numbers we are given, and then substitute the two previous results. Doing
so, and solving for the subscription price, we get:
Px = $52 = [N($60) + $Ps]/(N + 1)
S52 = [55(0.0833PS) + Ps]/(0.0833Ps + 1)
$52 = 4.58PS/(1 + 0.0833PS)
Ps = $41.60
