Question

MacKenzie Corporation currently has 10 million shares of stock outstanding at a price of $40 per share. The company would like to raise money and has announced a rights issue. Every existing shareholder will be sent one right per share of stock that he or she owns. The company plans to require ten rights to purchase one share at a price of $40 per share. How much money will it raise if all rights are exercised

Answer 1

Answer: $40,000,000

Explanation:

There are 10 million shares and the company plans to require ten rights to purchase one share.

Number of shares to be purchased will be;

= 10,000,000/10

= 1,000,000 shares

Shares are to be sold at $40 so;

= 1,000,000 * 40

= $40,000,000
