Answer

Sh.28,000,000\text{Sh.28,000,000}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

d. Sh.28,000,000

  1. Determine the number of shares in issue before the rights issue.

    On 1 January 2025, the company had ordinary share capital of Sh.80,000,000 comprising 8,000,000 ordinary shares of Sh.10 each.
    Number of shares in issue = 8,000,000 shares.

  2. Calculate the number of shares offered in the rights issue.

    The rights issue was 1 ordinary share for every 4 held.
    Number of shares offered = Number of shares in issue4×1\frac{\text{Number of shares in issue}}{4} \times 1
    Number of shares offered = 8,000,0004=2,000,000\frac{8,000,000}{4} = 2,000,000 shares.

  3. Calculate the cash proceeds from the rights issue.

    The rights issue was made at Sh.14 per share and was fully subscribed.
    Cash proceeds = Number of shares offered ×\times Issue price per share
    Cash proceeds = 2,000,000 shares×Sh.14/share2,000,000 \text{ shares} \times \text{Sh.14/share}
    Cash proceeds = Sh.28,000,000\text{Sh.28,000,000}

    The cash proceeds raised from the rights issue on 1 April 2025 were Sh.28,000,000.
