    Just being reading the answer of Collingham in Kaplan exam kit

    It said dispose of any surplus assets in order to reduce gearing and/ or to increase liquidity.

    Can anyone explain it?

    sell surplus assest , you get cash in hand, liquidity improved that is no doubt.
    by selling surplus asset, the market value (120)is greater than book value(100), ie. 120-100=20 , it will increas shareholder funds by 20, so equity is increased, gearing will be reduced.
