A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/23
Question 18 from 9706/12/M/J/23

Explanation

Insufficient data for precise equity calculation Steps:

  • Parse initial equity: Ordinary shares likely 400,000;sharepremium400,000; share premium 400,000;sharepremium400,000; general reserve and retained earnings total around 140,000(ambiguousfrom"70000general"),yielding 140,000 (ambiguous from "70000 general"), yielding ~140,000(ambiguousfrom"70000general"),yielding 940,000 total.
  • Apply bonus issue: 1 for 8 on 400,000 shares adds 50,000 shares (50,000capitalizedfromflexiblereserveslikeretainedearnings);totalequityunchangedat 50,000 capitalized from flexible reserves like retained earnings); total equity unchanged at ~50,000capitalizedfromflexiblereserveslikeretainedearnings);totalequityunchangedat 940,000.
  • Process share issue: 15,000 ordinary shares issued, but price and "debentures for" phrasing ambiguous—cannot determine cash inflow or premium.
  • Compute final equity: Requires issue price; without it, total cannot be exactly calculated.
