    It is the same concept as used when preparing statement of cash flows in financial accounts exams.

    They want the cash available for dividend. The profit figure needs adjusting for depreciation and profit on sale, because they are not cash flows. The cash received from the sale needs bringing in because it is a cash flow.

    For a (ii), there used to be 90M shares. They had a 1 for 3 rights issue, so they issued another 30M shares, which means 120M shares now in issue. They want to be able to pay a dividend of $0.74 per share which means they need 120M x $0.74.

    Ok i got ur above 2 points but cannot get why the shortfall of 12148 is grossed up at 5% is it because of withholding tax

    Hi sir, may i know for the forecast dividend capacity, less taxation ($108.16m-$10.8m) the 10% come from? why do we need to subtract the $10.8m?

    rimshy: Yes – it is because of the withholding tax

    starxberries96: the $10.8m is not 10% of anything!!! It is the interest (8% x $135m) and tax is, as always, charged on the profit after interest.
