Expert Solution

The right issue ratio of shares = 1 share for every four shares held

Current price of share = $ 15

Market value of 4 shares held @ 15 per share = 60

Amount received from right = 12

Total amount = 72

Total shares = 5

Average paid up value = 72/5 = 14.40

Market price per share = 15

Value of right = Market price per share - Average paid up value

= 15 - 14.40

= 0.60
