Homework Answers

Answer #1
Answer 7: Calculation of theoretical ex-rights price:
GH₵
Before issue 5 shares, value × GH₵1.60 8
Rights issue 1 share, value × GH₵1.00 1
Theoretical value of 6 shares 9
Theoretical ex-rights price = GHS 9 / 6 = GHS 1.5
EPS for 2016
EPS as calculated before taking into account the rights issue =
40p (GH₵40,000 divided by 100,000 shares).
EPS = (1.5/1.6)*40p = 37.5 p

This is the corresponding value for 2016 which will be shown in the financial statements for B Co at the end of 2017

EPS for 2017 :

Number of shares before the rights issue was 100,000, 20,000 shares were issued

Stage 1: 100000 * (9/12) *(1.6/1.5) = 80000

Stage 2 : 100000 * 9 / 12 = 30000

Total = 80000 + 30000 = 110000

EPS = GHS 50000 / 110000 = 45.5 p

The figure for total earnings is the actual earnings for the year.
