Value of one right
b. If the stock goes ex-rights, what would the new stock price be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
New Stock Price
Ans:
a. The Theoritical value of share right can be calculated using the below formula
Right Price = (SR - SP)/(N+1)
Where,
SR = Share Rights on Price
SP = Share Subscription Price
N = Number of rights needed to purchase new share
Share Rights on Price is $49, Share Subscription Price is $40 and Number of rights needed to purchase new share is 6
Hence value of one right = ($49 - $40) / (6 + 1) = $9/7 = $1.29
b. If the stock goes ex-rights, then the new stock price would be calculated as
SNP = SR – R
Where,
SNP = Share new price
SR = Share rights on price
R = Value of one right
Share rights on price is $49, value of one right is $1.29
Hence SNP = $49 - $1.29 = $47.71
