Explanation
Net Change in Equity and Reserves Steps:
- Share issue adds 25) to equity via capital and premium.
- Profit adds $80,000 to retained earnings.
- Revaluation adds $250,000 to revaluation reserve.
- Subtract dividend 100,000 to general reserve has no net effect.
- Total increase: 80,000 + 125,000 = $1,455,000.
Why C is correct:
- C equals $1,455,000, matching the accounting principle that equity increases by full share proceeds, profit, revaluation surplus, minus dividends (IAS 1 presentation).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Excludes full share issue proceeds, understating by premium amount.
- B: Omits revaluation, ignoring unrealized gains in reserves.
- D: Treats transfer as additional increase, violating no-net-effect rule for internal reallocations.
Final answer: C
