    Question 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 = $8,400

    Total $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?

    I 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?

    The general rule is that the default value is $1 per share unless otherwise indicated

    OK?

    No problem – but the examiner will normally be very clear about this point
