    4 rights will be submitted to obtain 1 share

    Explanation:

    Shares are issued by companies to raise capital for their operations. Outstanding shares are those that have been given out already and on which the company is obligated to pay dividends.

    Wordsmith corporation wants to raise $200,000 from new shares at $20 each. They had 40,000 shares outstanding initially.

    Number of new shares = 200,000/20 = 10,000

    Therefore

    Number of rights that is needed on existing shares = 40,000/10,000 = 4
