Wait, how does a 20% discount affect the share ratio?

I think it's 1 new share for every 5 existing shares.

1 for 25? That sounds too low for such a big raise!

I feel like the answer should be around 1 new share for every 5 existing shares, but I’m not completely confident in my calculations.

I think I practiced a question like this where we had to find the ratio for rights issues. I just can't recall the exact formula we used.

If the market price is $5 and they want to issue at a 20% discount, that makes it $4 per share, right? I think that affects how many shares they need to issue.

I remember we calculated the number of new shares needed in a similar question, but I'm not sure how to apply the discount here.

Oof, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards option C, but I'm also a little worried that I might be overthinking it. At the end of the day, it's all about the numbers, right? *scratches head*

Alright, let's do this! I'm going with option A. One new share for every four existing shares sounds about right. Plus, it's the first option, so it must be the easiest one, right? *laughs*

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe option D? Doesn't seem like a lot of shares need to be issued for $20 million. I wonder if the person who wrote this question has ever tried to raise capital before.

I agree with Tommy. The discount of 20% means the new share price will be $4, which is 20% less than the current market price of $5.

I think option C is the correct answer. The company needs to raise $20 million, and with a 20% discount, the new share price would be $4. With 20 million shares currently in issue, the company would need to issue 5 million new shares to raise the required $20 million.
