14. Carl Martin has $9,000 to invest. He has been looking at Barton Petroleum common stock. Barton has issued a rights offering to its common stockholders. Six rights plus $51 cash will buy one new share. Barton’s stock is selling for $60 ex-rights.

a. How many rights could Carl buy with his $9,000? Alternatively, how many shares of stock could he buy with the same $9,000 at $60 per share?

b. If Carl invests his $9,000 in Barton rights and the price of Barton stock rises to $72 per share ex-rights, what would his dollar profit on the rights be?

(First compute profit per right.)

c. If Carl invests his $9,000 in Barton stock and the price of the stock rises to

$72 per share ex-rights, what would his total dollar profit be?

d. What would be the answer to part b if the price of Barton’s stock falls to $45 per share ex-rights instead of rising to $72?

e. What would be the answer to part c if the price of Barton’s stock falls to $45 per share ex-rights?
