hi mike,
kindly show workings for practice q4 and 5May 16, 2016 at 4:09 am #315248Question 4 needs a small tweak, sorry. It’s already on my list of amendments to make at the same time that I’m typing out the workings.
The correct answer is shown as $1,029,927. This needs to be amended to $1,031,127.
Cost of investment:
Shares 300,000 @ $2.50 = $750,000
Deferred payment $330,000 x 1 / 1.1 x 1 / 1.1 = $272,727
Profit share 30% x 4 / 12 x $84,000 = $8,400Total $1,031,127
Question 5
Shares 50,000 @ $1.50 = $75,000
Deferred payment $377,914 x 1/1.08 x 1/1.08 x 1/1.08 = $300,000
Profit share 4/12 x $84,000 x 35% = $9,800
Pup 35% x 4,000 = $(1,400)Total $383,400
OK?
May 16, 2016 at 8:22 am #315276thanks i did not understand the 35% pup deductionin question 5
May 16, 2016 at 8:25 am #315279But you’re ok now?
May 16, 2016 at 8:34 am #315288I will revisit the notes, thanks. In the mini excercises, Goodwill Petras and Signe, there are 4m shares in issue, how do i figure out how much they are worth?
May 16, 2016 at 10:21 am #315307The general rule is that the default value is $1 per share unless otherwise indicated
OK?
May 16, 2016 at 11:30 am #315314ok thanks, i did not know that.
May 16, 2016 at 1:19 pm #315325No problem – but the examiner will normally be very clear about this point
May 16, 2016 at 2:03 pm #315329thanks
May 16, 2016 at 8:16 pm #315356You’re welcome
