The correct answer is Three rights

Key Points

  •  Information Given in Statement:
  •     Number of shares = 900,000
  •     Required Finance = Rupees 2.25 Crores
    •  i.e. 2,25,00,000
  •     Current M.P (Market Price) = Rupees 130 per share
  • Subscription price = Rupees 75 per share

Computation :

  • Firstly, we have to find out the Market value of company:
    •       = 9,00,000 * 130
    •       = 1,17,000,000

 

  • A company needs to issue shares, for Rupees 2,25,00,000 with Subscription price of Rupees 75:
    •       =  2,25,00,000 / 75
    •       = 3,00,000 shares

 

  • Now, with the help of given information we can easily find out the rights that are required to purchase a new share.
    •        = 9,00,000 / 3,00,000
    •        = 3 Rights

 

  • So, three rights are needed to purchase a new share.

 

Hence, the correct answer is Three rights.
