Stock is valued in the balance sheet at lower of cost or net realisable value. The latter is calculated by deducting the the repairs that have to be undertaken from the price that it could be sold at. That is it would be, 2200-400=1800
This is lower than the cost so the answer would be A.
Thanks man, these sums always mess me up!

we will ignore debentures over here, as debentures would raise the same amount of cash, the effect will be nullified whereas the shares would introduce $1,000,000. so C is the answer

what does cost plus percentage mean?


Cost plus percentage means markup added in cost.

50,000 shares * $5 face value = $250,000
Share premium on issue = 50,000 shares * $15 = $750,000

add $250,000 and $750,000 = $1,000,000. cash also increase and on the other had equity increased
Thnx :) understood, didnt know that i have to include the 50000 at $5

mcq no.8:
as overdraft should be credit, we will credit the bank account with double the amount. first to cancel the debit entry and second to record the debit entry and debit the suspense account by $200. as purchases are understated by 10, we will debit purchases and credit suspense account, giving us the balance of credit $190

mcq no.22:
not in AS level syllabus, its A2
