Pro rata allocation on the basis of an advance indication of interest means each account for which the shares are suitable:
A) and which has expressed an advance indication of interest, shall receive m/n shares, where there are m shares available and indications of interest for n shares.
B) shall receive m/n shares, where there are m shares available and n such accounts.
C) and which has expressed an advance indication of interest, shall receive w*m shares, where w is the account's proportional value of all such accounts and there are m shares available.
Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was A) and which has expressed an advance indication of interest, shall receive m/n shares, where there are m shares available and indications of interest for n shares.
Pro rata allocation on the basis of an advance indication of interest means that all accounts that have expressed an interest in the issue shall receive m/n shares, where there are m shares available and indications of interest for n shares.

This just seems wrong to me, both my original answer and the suggested answer.
Shouldn't be the formula something like individual indication of interest/SUM(all indications of interests from suitable account) * available shares to firm ?
What am I missing here?作者: giorgio10 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
I think it is:
m ... available shares to firm
n ... all indications of interests
m/n will be pct not number of shares, you are one step ahead with your calculation作者: ayodayo 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
