The course notes didn’t talk about “Irredeemable Preference Shares” but I saw a question on it in the study kit.
Please anyone can explain this I would be very grateful.
Preference share are share that get a fixed dividend.
(So 10% $1 preference shares get a fixed dividend of 10c each year)
The word ‘redeemable’ means repayable, and so ‘irredeemable’ means never repayable.
ORDINARY SHARE AND PREFFERENCE SHARE BOTH COMES IN WHICH SECTION :
A. BALANCE SHEET
B. ST OF CHANGES IN EQUITY
C. ST OF CASH FLOW
D. BOTH A AND Bcorrect answer is D.
i suggest you to also read your study text…The course notes are pretty helpful but they can’t be replaced with ur textbook..
there is a question 207 in kaplan revision kit. It takes only ordinary shares in st of changes in equity. little bit confusing!
