The formula for determining the value of one stock right when the price of the stock is rights-on is


If: Ron = market value of one right when the stock is selling rights-on.
Pon = market value of one share of stock with
rights-on.
N = number of nights necessary to purchase
one share of stock.
S = subscription price per share.
If the market price of a stock is $50 per share, the subscription price is $40 per share, and three rights are necessary to buy an additional share of stock, the theoretical market value of one right used to buy the stock prior to the ex-rights date is

  1. $2.00
  2. $2.50
  3. $10.00
  4. $40.00

A company's stock trades rights-on for $50.00 and ex-rights for $48.00. The subscription price for rights holders is $40.00, and four rights are required to purchase one share of stock.The value of a right while the stock is still trading rights-on is

  1. $0.40
  2. $0.50
  3. $1.60
  4. $2.00

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Until rights are actually issued, the stock trades rights-on, meaning that the stock and rights are inseparable. If P is the value of a share rights-on, S is the subscription price of a new share, and N is the number of rights needed to buy a new share, the value of a right when the stock is selling rights-on is (P - S) ÷ (N + 1). Thus, the value of a right when the stock is selling rights-on is $2.00 [($50-$40) ÷ (4 + 1)].

A company's stock trades rights-on for $50.00 and ex-rights for $48.00. The subscription price for rights holders is $40.00, and four rights are required to purchase one share of stock. The value of a right when the stock is trading ex-rights is

  1. $0.40
  2. $0.50
  3. $2.00
  4. $2.50

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

If a stock can be purchased for $48 on the open market, or for $40 with four rights, each right must be worth $2.00 ($8 savings ÷ 4 rights).

The market value of a share of stock is $50, and the market value of one right prior to the ex-rights date is $2.00 after the offering is announced but while the stock is still selling rights-on. The offer to the shareholder is that it will take three rights to buy an additional share of stock at a subscription price of $40 per share. If the theoretical value of the stock when it goes ex-rights is $47.50, then the shareholder

  1. Does not receive any additional benefit from a rights offering
  2. Receives an additional benefit from a rights offering.
  3. Merely receives a return of capital
  4. Should redeem the right and purchase the stock before the ex-rights date

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Plugging the amounts into the formula given in the preceding question produces a theoretical value of $2.50 per right, which leaves a theoretical value of $47.50 for the stock.
($50 - $40) ÷ (3 + 1)= $2.50
However, if the stock declines to $47.50 when the right is worth only $2, the original investor is worse off than before the rights issuance, i.e., the investor would have only $49.50 worth of investments. Hence, the original shareholder receives no benefit from the issuance of the rights.

Growl Corporation's $1,000 par value convertible debentures are selling at $1,040 when its stock is selling for $46.00 per share. If the conversion ratio is 20, what will be the conversion price?

  1. $22.61
  2. $46.00
  3. $50.00
  4. $52.00

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The conversion price is the assumed price of the stock, which was set at the time the bonds were issued. Dividing the $1,000 face value by the 20 shares results in a conversion price of $50.
