Number of new shares:

= 140,000 * (1:2)

= 70,000

Amount of new investment:

= 70,000*$10

= $700,000

Total value of company after issue:

= $700,000+140,000*$40

= $6,300,000

Total number of shares after issue:

= 140,000+70,000

= 210,000

Share price after issue:

= $6,300,000:210,000

= $30
