    The following notes are relevant:
    (i) Cavern has accounted for a fully subscribed rights issue of equity shares made on 1 April 2010 of one new
    share for every four in issue at 42 cents each. The company paid ordinary dividends of 3 cents per share on
    30 November 2009 and 5 cents per share on 31 May 2010. The dividend payments are included in administrative
    expenses in the trial balance.

    I need help to answer this question

    There’s £50000 of equity shares – Each share costs 20p. Hence the total number of shares is 250,000 (after the issue)
    The issue at 1 for 4 was for [250000 x (1/5)] = 50000 shares

    The rights issue: 42p per share. The nominal value is 20p. Share capital is 0.2 x 50000 and share premium = (0.42-0.2) x 50000 = 11000 (shown in the TB)

    The dividends paid at 3p per share should be for 200000 shares
    The dividends paid at 5p per share should be for 250000 shares (i.e. as there are more in issue)

    I’m not 100% sure but I don’;t think dividends are pro rated into months. Anyway once you have calculated the above you will have the total dividend payment. Subtract this from Admin expenses as dividends do not belong here. Put it against retained earnings in the SFP or in your statement of changes in equity
