i have doubt in past question paper called tabba its cashflow question
doubt is about dividend as retaining earning at start of year 850 and profit of the year 100ds and retaining earning end of the year is 2550 so dividend should be 1600 (2550-950) but they not taken any dividend in these question
pvt companies doesnt pay dividends? as in question starting its written its pvt company
November 16, 2014 at 9:31 pm #210544Private companies DO pay dividends
Please look at your figures again
Those that you have posted don’t make sense (what is 100ds)
(they suggest that a dividend has been received by the company from the shareholders!)
November 18, 2014 at 5:43 am #210845Sorry i didn’t realise typo mistake the figure of profit is 100 only i hope it make sense now
November 18, 2014 at 3:52 pm #211029Ok, I accept that 100ds is in fact $100
850 brought forward + 100 retained for the year = 950. But you reckon the carried forward amount is 2,250
That’s impossible unless the shareholders have paid a dividend to the company and that is an outrageous assumption.
I have to apologise again and ask you to please tell me the retained earnings figure brought forward, the retained earnings figure carried forward and the figure for profit after tax from the bottom of the statement of income
November 19, 2014 at 5:37 am #211175retained earning brought forward =850 retained earning carried forward 2550 and profit of the year 100
November 19, 2014 at 4:39 pm #211295That’s impossible – or I’m not being given all relevant information
Hopefully I’ll get my hands on an exam kit that includes this old question tomorrow.
Meanwhile, post again on this same thread so I can see that this is an issue still outstanding

November 21, 2014 at 10:50 am #211832Hi
Did you think that the 1,600 transferred from the revaluation reserve was not worth mentioning to me?
And did you even bother to look at the printed solution that details how the retained earnings have changed?
Let me know if there continues to be any doubts
