A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/24
Question 19 from 9706/13/M/J/24

Explanation

Net Change in Equity and Reserves Steps:

  • Share issue adds 1,250,000(50,000×1,250,000 (50,000 × 1,250,000(50,000×25) to equity via capital and premium.
  • Profit adds $80,000 to retained earnings.
  • Revaluation adds $250,000 to revaluation reserve.
  • Subtract dividend 125,000;transfer125,000; transfer 125,000;transfer100,000 to general reserve has no net effect.
  • Total increase: 1,250,000+1,250,000 + 1,250,000+80,000 + 250,000−250,000 - 250,000−125,000 = $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
