Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The investor initially holds 100 shares. With a bonus issue of five shares for every two held, the investor will receive an additional $ \frac{5}{2} \times 100 = 250 $ shares, making a total of 350 shares. Since the value per share doesn't change with a bonus issue, the total value of the holding after the bonus issue is $ 350 \times $2.50 = $875 $. However, none of the provided options match this calculation, suggesting there might have been a misunderstanding in the question or options provided.
