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
