Refer to p2 lecture notes pages 6, 213 and 214, question and answer on Ausra and Danute. I don’t understand how the group’s equity shares become $120,000 as against $100,000 which is also applied in the dividend payable by Ausra.
October 9, 2014 at 4:30 pm #204002Was there not a rights (or bonus, I forget!) issue?
Maybe a 1 for 5?
If not, post again and I’ll dig out a copy of the question. It’s a bit awkward answering these from an iPad!
October 10, 2014 at 6:01 pm #204116I have not seen any information on bonus shares in the question.
October 11, 2014 at 9:01 am #20413320,000 shares were issued as part of the cost of acquisition
October 12, 2014 at 10:56 pm #204275Thank you sir for pointing out. I suppose the Calculation is thus: 75% of Danute 50c Shares (40,000) = 30,000 50c shares devided by 3 = 10,000 50c shares issued which is equivalent to 20,000 $1 equity shares.
Is this correct?
October 13, 2014 at 5:29 pm #204330I’m not sure how you take the giant leap that says “10,000 50c shares is the equivalent of 20,000 $1 shares”
That seems illogical to me.
Do you want to look at it again and see if that really is what you wanted to say?
October 13, 2014 at 8:35 pm #204351Sorry, that is a costly statement. The deduction by me is not realistic.
I still can not deduce how the additional 20,000 shares came about.
October 13, 2014 at 8:40 pm #204354Because we issued them as part of the purchase / acquisition cost of acquiring Danute
Look at the F7 (yes, F7) mini exercises towards the end of the free downloadable course notes on this site. I think, from memory, that exercise 10 in those mini exercises has something like 14 different past F7 acquisition quickie questions.
Practice those until you can deal with a similar situation without any thought – practice until it becomes automatic
Ok?
October 14, 2014 at 4:34 am #204378Thank you sir, I will do that.
October 14, 2014 at 3:33 pm #204418You’re welcome
