Company C proposes a rights offering to raise $30 million for a new journal. The journal reviews the potential articles after the author makes the payment of the nonrefundable reviewing fee $5,000 for a page. The current price of the stock is $52 for a share and the outstanding shares is 3.9 million.
Formula to compute the number of shares that must be sold:
Computation of the number of shares that must be sold:
Hence, the number of shares that must be sold is $652,174.
Formula to compute the numbers of rights needed:
Computation of the number of the rights needed:
Hence, the number of the rights needed is 5.98.
c)

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Company C proposes a rights offering to raise $30 million for a new journal. The journal reviews the potential articles after the author makes the payment of the nonrefundable reviewing fee $5,000 for a page.

A shareholder can purchase 5.98 rights-on share for:
The shareholder can exercise these rights for $46, the total cost of these rights are as follows:
The ex-rights share of the investors are as follows:
Hence, the number of rights needed is 1.98 rights for a share.
Formula to compute the price per share of the stock ex-rights:
N is the number of rights needed, PRO is the rights-on price, PS is the subscription price.
Computation of the ex-rights stock price:
Hence, the price of the ex-rights stock is $51.14.
Computation of the value of a right:
Note: N is the number of rights needed, PRO is the rights-on price, PX is the new price of the stock.
Hence, the value of a right is $0.86.
