$3.85
$4.42
None of above is correct.
Step 1 . Calculation of New Market Value
The new market value will be
Old market value = $ 3 million X 46 per share = 138 million
right issue = $20 million
New market value = $ 158 million
Step 2 Calculation of New Shares Issued
No. of new shares= $20 million/$25 per share = 0.80 million shares
Step 3 Calculation of ex-right Price
The new price of the stock will be the new market value of the company divided by the total number of shares outstanding after the rights offer, which will be
= $ 158 million / ($3 million + $.80 million ) = $ 41.58
Step 3 Calculation of Value of Right
= $46.00 - $41.58 = $4.42
Therefore, the correct answer is option (D) i.e. $4.42
