for question no.8:

as the share have a face value of $5 and premium of $15, we will multiply the no.of share with $20, 50,000 * $20 = $1,000,000
Now as we know net assets = assets - liabilities, therefore, the effect of the debentures will be zero because in the liabilities side $300,000 liability is increasing and on the other had cash in current assets is also increasing by $300,000. so the net assets would increase by $1,000,000. if the debentures would have been issued at premium, then the result would be different.

for question no.19:

just put the ROCE forumula = Profit before interest and tax/Capital employed * 100

Operating profit = $128,000
Capital Employed = fixed assets + current assets - current liabilities
NOTE: in H.Randall Accounting book, this is a mistake. at pg 213, it states to consider long term liability and debentures in capital employed. But the book forgot to specify that if you are using Capital + long term liabilities to find out capital employed then long term liabilities are considered.If fixed assets + working capital formula is used to calculate capital employed, then long term liabilities are ignored

there fore, = $128,000/$512,000 * 100 = 25%

EXACCTLY!!! even i got A!! i don know why they are getting B~~!!! urg.. its so annoying. may be its cause its a very old paper.~ ok.. well how do u do OCT/NOV 2003... Q18?? xD the link is http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Accounting (9706)/9706_w03_qp_1.pdf and the answer is C~
it says that the cost of production is 240000 and so the markup is 20 % so thus as u know the factory profit will simply be 20/100 into 240000 thats 48000.and see ans u may be knowing that provision for unrelaised profit is always deducted to get the correct balance of the factory profit .thus,.....20/120 as markup into 54000 that is 9000 at the year end and at the beginnning as u know it will be 20/100 into 40000 so thats 8000.differnce 1000 increase so 40000-1000 equals 47000...hope u understood...and hey 20/100 in the first year as we cant take 20/120....as decimals...so.....altenative...

hey, dude the answer is B bcoz we won't take into consideration the bank charges bcoz we starting from the bank balance. And it has already been included in it. But if u have taken bank charges into consideration, still the answer can't be A bcoz then it will be -9419.

more elaborated answer.

the opening stock value given in Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2001 already contains the 20% profit. so we take the 20% from the opening stock which gives us the provision of unrealized profit created last year i.e $8,000. Now the profit is also to be calculated on the closing stock of this year i.e $54,000 * 20/120 = $9,000. so we need to increase the existing provision from $1,000. according to the manufacturing account, the profit included should be $240,000 * 20% = $48,000. but as the provision has to be increased, the profit that will be credited to Profit and Loss account will decrease by $1,000 and hence the answer would be $47,000

if u are starting from cash book balance, then u have to take into account bank charges.
