Hi,
I would be grateful if someone can a couple of the multiple choice questions for the above paper.
Q5 – they have used 30/360 * sales
Why have they used the sales amount (200) and not the cost the sales (120).
I thought that finished goods was worked out by using cost of sales
Q15 – can you please explain how this is calculated, the answer shows
(5*$8 + 1.25*6) / 6.25 – $6 / 4shares
I understand the first part, and divided by 6.25. However I am confused where the minus $6 comes from.
I’m probably being really stupid and starting to stress a bit now. Help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Hayley
Q5 But the answer multiplies by 0.6. because the cost is 60% of the sales.
If you multiply 120 x 30/360 you get exactly the same answer!!
Q15 The TERP is $6.25. However the question asks for the value of the rights, which is the difference between the TERP and the amount payable to take up the rights (which is $6).
