for part i) how come the retained earnings increase to 5 and cash be nil?
part ii) Why the cash has increased to 5?
(i) The retained earnings were 2.6, they are forecast to be 2.4 for next year. 2.6 + 2.4 = 5
Since every other figure on the SOFP is given in the question, cash is the balancing figure and is zero. (or if you prefer it is 7.6 – 10 (repay shares) + 2.4 (earnings for the year) = 0 )
(ii) because of the refinancing! As the answers says, it is the balancing figure after arriving at all the other figures on the statement
