A client had the following investment transactions in 20X0: On March 20, purchased 1,000 shares of XYZ Co. ordinary shares at P80.50 plus broker’s fee of P500. On June 01, received a 50 percent stock dividend. Received stock rights permitting the purchase of one share at P60 for every four shares owned on September 1. On this date, the rights had a market price of P3 each, and the market price of the stock ex-right was P72 per share. On Nov. 10, exercised 1,000 rights from the stock purchased March 20, and sold the remaining rights at P4 each and on December 28, sold 400 shares from the stock purchased March 20, at P75, less broker’s fee of P1,000. After receipt of stock dividends, what is the new cost of investment per share? Stock rights are accounted for separately and use the average method.
