Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

Value of Rights = Ex Rights Selling Price - Cash For 1 New Share/Number of Rights = (66 - 48)/6 = $3 per right

Number of Rights = Value of Investment/Value of Right = 4800/3 = 1600 Rights

Number of Shares = Value of Investment/Value Per Share = 4800/66 = 72.73 shares

Part B:

Value of Rights = (Ex Rights Selling Price - Cash For 1 New Share)/Number of Rights = (70 - 48)/6 = 3.67 per right

Dollar Profit on Rights = Number of Rights*(Profit Per Right) = 1600*(3.67 - 3) = 1072

Part C:

Dollar Profit on Shares = Number of Shares*(Profit Per Share) = 72.73*(70 - 66) = 290.92 or 291

Part D:

Value of Rights = (Ex Rights Selling Price - Cash For 1 New Share)/Number of Rights = (40 - 48)/6 = -1.33 or 0

Since value of Right is 0, Todd would lose all the money.

Total Loss = -4800

Part E:

Dollar Loss on Shares = Number of Shares*(Profit Per Share) = 72.73*(40 - 66) = -1890.98 or -1891

Total Loss would be 1891 on 72.73 shares.

Thanks.
