we have to calcute the interst cost for each year, and then take the average of it over the life span of this debt
so its
100 000 for year 1 and 2, and 120 000 for year 3 4 5
so its 560/5 = 112 000
now, i dont know the reasoning why we have to do so, i belive, in accordance with the accruals concept, we should have take the different interest payment for each year

Yes even I thought different interest should be taken for each year.
Anyway, thanks for explaining the other question :)

plss can any1 explain how to do this mcq?? pllsss urgenttt!! the ans is ''D"... HOW???

1 There was a bonus issue, ( 1/10 X100 = $10m
so now we know that there was $20 rights issue( 100+10 - 130 = 20)
and the difference between the share premium is 30, so we know that (20+30) $50m was received in cash

bonus issue is an issue an of shares to existing shareholders, by transferring reserves, so no cash is earned, but a rights issue is when shares are sold to exsiting shareholders, ie they buy the shares, therefore cash is generated, equal to the nominal value of the shares(20) plus the share premium(30)

I did this last night, it's easy.
We're issuing bonus shares of $10 (100/10)
That would increase the share capital to 110 and decrease share premimun by $10 so share premium would be $40
There was also right issue which increased the share capital to 130 means It was equal to $20.
Also, it was issued at premium as the share premium got increased from $40 to $80.
This means total net assets (working capital) would increase by 40 + 20 = 60 so it'd be D

Cn any 1 tell hw the answer is B ? ITS URGENT PLZ :)
Actually the answer is not B. Here's the working:
Factory markup 20% is on cost..
so stock of finished goods are at cost (start) 40000x20%=8000
Cost of goods produced 240000x20%=48000
and Stock of FG's (end) is at cost plus factory profit.. 54000x20/120= 9000
so, Op stock - Cl.Stock, 8000-9000=(1000).
Now, Cost of goods produced 48000-1000=$47000=C

Read the questions carefully;
for 14:
Total share = Share of profits + what he gets from partnership agreement.
Residual profit = $50100 x 1/3 = $16700 + $500 = $17200 (D)

For 16:
It'd be C because $93500 x 20% = $18700
This would be shown in the Income Statement but in the balance sheet, unrealised profit would not be shown due to subjectivity conflict.
Therefore in the balance sheet it'd be shown as $17000

For 17:
It's tricky but read the question carefully
In April, you'll get 20% of the sales value = 220,000 x 20% = $44000
You'll get 50% of the march which would be = 270,000 x 50% =$135000
And 30% of what you sold in Feb = $240,000 x 30% =$72000
Add them up, and you'll get $251,000 and that is D

For 29:
Budgeted overheads are $11500 000
Patients are 25000
Thereover OAR = $460 but as each patient stays for 10 days, divide it by 10
so it'd be $46 per patient day and that makes A the right answer.

A notice to all Accounting students 9706
if an occasion occurs where the majority of students think that the marking scheme is wrong, Please do verify answers in the marking scheme with the examiner reports
for instance, here in on 2012 p33, the er states that the answer for 18 is B, however, it just contradicts itself as the comments below hint that the correct answer is D, which, when i checked the marking scheme, was actalyy correct, as the marking scheem did agree with this.
i dont know why Cambridge is disappointing us with such errors, its ought to be such a reliable and prestigious examination board, didnt expect such errors from them:(
