    Right price = $33.50

    Explanation:

    The theoretical ex-right price is the weighted average price at which shares are expected to settle after a right-issue,

    It is the weighted average price of value of shares of the before-right price and the right price

    Ex-rights price

    = (Before-right value of shares + Proceed from rights) / Total number of shares after rights issue

    Number of rights issue units = amount to be raised / Right price per share

    = $5.1 m/$30 = 170,000 units

    Before - rights value = 1,207,000 * $34 = 41,038,000

    Proceed from rights = 170,000 * $30 = 5,100,000

    The ex-right price = (41,038,000 + 5,100,00) / (1,207,000 + 170,000) units

    Right price = $33.50
