    Number of new shares:

    = 100,000 * (1:2)

    = 50,000

    Amount of new investment:

    = 50,000*$10

    = $500,000

    Total value of company after issue:

    = $500,000+100,000*$40

    = $4,500,000

    Total number of shares after issue:

    = 100,000+50,000

    = 150,000

    Share price after issue:

    = $4,500,000:150,000

    = $30
