A corporation is having a rights offering. The terms of the offering require six rights plus $60 to purchase one share. With the stock's current market price at $74 per share, the theoretical value of one right before the ex-rights date is

Plugging in the numbers gives us ($74 - $60) ÷ (6 + 1) = $14 ÷ 7 = $2.00.
