1.) Bowman, Inc., is proposing a rights offering. Presently there are 800,000 shares outstanding at $48 each. There will be 160,000 new shares offered at $40 each.

Explanation / Answer

a)

New Market Value of the Company will comprise of existing shares and new right shares issued by the company at their respective prices.

Market Value of the Company = Existing Shares*Market Price Per Share + Number of Right Shares*Offer Price = 800,000*48 + 160,000*40 = $44,800,000

_________________

b)

Number of rights associated with each old share will be calculated by dividing the total number of existing shares with the new right shares.

Number of Rights = Existing Shares/New Shares = 800,000/160,000 = 5 rights per new share

_________________

c)

Ex-rights price indicates the price of the stock after the issue of rights. It will be calculated by dividing the total market value (as calculated in part a) with the total number of shares after the rights issue.

The formula is:

Ex-Rights Price = Total Market Value/(Total Number of Shares)

_______________________

Solution:

Total Number of Shares = Existing Shares + New Shares After Rights Issue = 800,000 + 160,000 = 960,000

Ex-Rights Price = 44,800,000/960,000 = $46.67

_________________

d) The difference between the price before rights issue and after right issue (as calculate in part c) is the "Value of the Right".

The formula is :

Value of the Right = Current Price (Before Rights Price) - Ex-rights Price

_______________________

Solution:

Value of the Right = $48 - $46.67 = $1.33
