A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/O/N/22

Explanation
Shareholders' equity calculation requires complete initial balance
Steps:
- Initial share capital: 100,000 shares × 100,000.
- Bonus issue adds 50,000 shares ($50,000 to share capital, debited from reserves).
- Rights issue adds 50,000 shares (1,200,000 to share premium).
- Profit 125,000 and transfer 50,000 also subtracted from retained earnings.
- Total equity = share capital (1,200,000) + general reserve (310,000) = $2,210,000.
Not enough information: Initial retained earnings or other reserves not provided; insufficient for bonus issue without assuming post-profit capitalization, and resulting total does not match any option.
Final answer: Not enough information.
Topic: Preparation of financial statements
