The stock currently sells for $34 per share and there are 2.7 million shares outstanding.

b. If the subscription price is set at $27 per share, how many shares must be sold? How many rights will it take to buy one share? 

c. What is the ex-rights price? What is the value of a right? 

d. Show how a shareholder with 1,000 shares before the offering and no desire (or money) to buy additional shares is not harmed by the rights offer.
