Question #1 – Value Rights Todd Winningham IV has $4,000 to invest. He has been looking at Gallagher Tennis Clubs, Inc. common stock. Gallagher has issued a rights offering to its common shareholders. Six rights plus $38 cash will buy one new share. Gallagher's stock is selling for $50 ex-rights. a. How many rights could Todd buy with his $4,000? Alternatively, how many shares could he buy with the same $4,000 at $50 per share? b. If Todd invests his $4,000 in Gallagher rights and the price of Barton share rises to $59 per share ex- rights, what would his dollar profit on the rights be? (First compute profis per right.) c. If Todd invests his $4,000 in Gallagher stock and the price of the share rises to $59 per share ex-rights, what would his total dollar profit be? d. What would be the answer to part b if the price of Gallagher's share price falls to $30 per share ex- rights instead of rising to $59? e. What would be the answer to part c if the price of Gallagher's share falls to $30 per share ex-rights? How many rights could Todd buy with his $4,000, ? Alternatively, how many shares could he buy with the same $4,000 at $50 per share? They have $50 selling price, 38 subscription price Value of right= selling price – subscription price/ total available rights= Po – S /R= 50-38/6=12/6=2 Value of 1 right is $2 With 4000 investment he can buy (4000/2) 2000 rights How many share he can buy with 4000 4000/50= 8 0 b. If Todd invests his $4,000 in Gallagher rights and the price of Barton share rises to $59 per share ex- rights, what would his dollar profit on the rights be? (First compute profis per right.) profit per 6 right= 59-50=9 profit per right=9/6=1.5 total right with $4000=2000 total profit =2000*1.5=3000 c. If Todd invests his $4,000 in Gallagher stock and the price of the share rises to $59 per share ex-rights, what would his total dollar profit be? Price per stock=50 New stock price=59 Profit per stock=59-50=9 Total profit (4000/50)=80 stocks= 720
d. What would be the answer to part b if the price of Gallagher's share price falls to $30 per share ex- rights instead of rising to $59? Total rights=2000 Loss per right=0 because pric is negative e. What would be the answer to part c if the price of Gallagher's share falls to $30 per share ex-rights? Bought shares= 80 Paid=50 New price=30 Loss =20 each 20*80=1600 Question #2 – Compare Preferred Stock with other investments The Shelton Corporation has some excess cash that it would like to invest in marketable securities for a long-term hold.

After tax bond yeild= 3%*(1-.25)= b. After tax bond yeild=6%*(1-.25) c. when price for preferred share goes up no tax consequences, when you sell the preferred share 50% is taxable.
