Step-by-step explanation

Market Value Of Two Rights Exercised To Acquire Each Share= Market Value Of Each Acquired Share - Cash Paid To Acquire Each Share

                                                                                                            = P130 - P90

                                                                                                            = P40

Number Of Shares Acquired By Exercising Existing Rights= 50,000/2

                                                                                                     = 25,000

Cost of New Shares Acquired= 25,000*(P90+P40)

                                                         = P3,250,000
