Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

 Value of  one right   = $2.63

Explanation:

<em>A right issue is the issue of additional new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings at a price less than the current market price.</em>

<em>The value of rights is the difference between the theoretical ex-right price and the right price . </em>

Value of rights= Theoretical ex-right price - Right price

<em>The theoretical ex-right price is the price at which a share is expected to settle after the right issue assuming all the rights are taken</em>

Theoretical ex-rights price = Total value of shares after right issue/Number of shares after right issues

<em />

1 unit  of old share       at   $25.25 =  $25.25

I unit of right share   at       $20.00= <u>$20.00</u>

Total value of 2 shares                     <u>$ 45.25</u>

Theoretical ex-rights price  = 45.25/2 =$22.63

Theoretical ex-rights price=$22.63

Value of rights= Theoretical ex-right price - Right price

                       =  22.63 - 20.00

 Value of  one right   = $2.63

torisob [31]

Answer:

both existing customers who now get lower prices on the gowns they were already planning to purchase and new customers who enter the market because of the lower prices.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Let assume that the price before the sale and after the sale is $1000 and $800. The willingness to pay of customer A is $1500 and for customer b is $900

consumer surplus of customer A before sale = 1500 - 1000 = 500

consumer surplus of customer A after sale = 1500 - 800 = 700

consumer surplus of customer B before sale =  0

consumer surplus of customer B after sale = 900 - 800 = 100

consumer surplus of both customers increase
