Question 19 from 9706/13/O/N/22

Explanation

Shareholders' equity calculation requires complete initial balance

Steps:

  • Initial share capital: 100,000 shares × 1=1 = 1=100,000.
  • Bonus issue adds 50,000 shares ($50,000 to share capital, debited from reserves).
  • Rights issue adds 50,000 shares (50,000tosharecapital,50,000 to share capital, 50,000tosharecapital,1,200,000 to share premium).
  • Profit 985,000addedtoretainedearnings;dividend985,000 added to retained earnings; dividend 985,000addedtoretainedearnings;dividend125,000 and transfer 500,000subtractedfromretainedearnings;bonus500,000 subtracted from retained earnings; bonus 500,000subtractedfromretainedearnings;bonus50,000 also subtracted from retained earnings.
