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%
oh so its the books fault, makes me feel good
thanks alot (Y)

8 - the answer is 50000*20 = 1000000
Net assets = TA - TL.
the nominal value of shares is 5 buh they're issued "at a premium of 15" so total value of issue is $20. Debentures wouldnt make any impact

19 - answer is D
ROCE = (PBIT/capital employed)*100
so (128000/512000)*100 = 25%
512000 = (Noncurrent assets + net current assets)

anser in C.....balance sheet value or book value = (shareholders fund/no. of shares)
shareholders fund is ORDINARY shares plus Reserves (50000+10000+20000+35000=115000)
so balance sheet value of one ordinary share = 115000/100000 = $1.15

here is the solution:
create the asset accout:

debit b/d $460 000
addition $92 000
total = $552 000

Credit side
Disposal (balancing fig.) $47 000
balance c/d $505 000
total = $552 000

now create provision for depreciation account:

Debit side:

Depreciation on the disposal account ( 47 000 - 16 000) = $ 31,000
balance c/d $237 000
total = $ 268 000

credit side:
balance b/d $ 215 000
Profit and loss( balancing figu.) $53 000
total = $ 268 000

well guys good night from me, gotta sleep now:sleep: and best of luk to all (y)
