Explanation / Answer

portion of the total shares that the issue represents = 1-.8 = .2

Multiply the shares' portion by the share price before the rights issue = $ 50*.8 = $ 40

the price of the newly issued shares: $ 42

company's final shares that exist pre-offering =4/(1+4) = 0.8

portion of the total shares that the issue represents = 1-.8 = .2

Multiply the shares' portion by the share price before the rights issue = $ 50*.8 = $ 40

the price of the newly issued shares: $ 42

42*0.2 = 8.4 Stocks ex-rights price = 40+8.4 = $ 48.4
