Answer #1

Current structure

Number of shares outstanding 50,000

Book value = $500,000

Market value = $720,000

Net income = $45,000

Return on equity = 0.09

Price-earnings ratio = 16

Earnings per share = $0.90

Market price per share = PE ratio * EPS = 16*0.9 = $14.4

After money raised for fixed assets

$315,000 will financed by issuing equity share

Number of Equity shares to be issued = 315,000 / 14.4 = 21,875

Net income generated = NPV of the project = $20,000

New Book value per share = Total equity share holder's fund / Total number of equity shares

= (500,000 + 315,000) / (50,000 + 21,875) = 815,000 / 71,875 = $11.34
