10. Hothouse Mfg. is considering a rights offer. The company has determined that the ex-rights price will be $61. The current price is $65 per share, and there are 11 million shares outstanding. The rights offer would raise a total of $64 million. What is the subscription price?
Number of new shares = $64m/Ps
Nex = 11m/($64m/Ps) = 0.17Ps
Px = $61 = [0.17Ps ($65) + Ps] / (0.17Ps +1 );
Ps = $36.31
