Hello Sir, this question is from PYQ DEC2010 Q2
“The dividend of 3 cents per share paid on 30 November 2009 would have been based on 200 million shares and
been $6 million. The dividend of 5 cents per share paid on 31 May 2010 would have been based on 250 million
shares and been $12·5 million. Therefore the total dividends paid, incorrectly included in administrative expenses, were
$18·5 million.”
Why the last year(30 Nov 2009) Div paid that incorrect included in administrative exp , is corrected in the current year but not last year P&L account?
30 Nov 2009 should be last year, year-end, right?
Thank you.
Hi,
As it is a prior year error then it is corrected retrospectively. Therefore the adjustment is made through the statement of changes in equity with it going to the opening retained earnings.
Thanks
