    I am trying to calculate the theoretical ex-rights price but cannot get to any of the answers from the multiple choice.
    Would it possible to break down the calculation please?

    Hi

    This is a scrip issue so, unlike a rights issue, doesn't raise any new capital for the company.
    The number of shares in issue will increase from 2m (with a price of £4.00) to 2.5m with a price of :
    (2m x £4.00) / 2.5m = £3.20

    Hope this sorts it
