  2. B

  3. C
    ₦780,000
  4. D
    ₦540,000

Cevap

The total amount of Equity and Reserves is ₦900,000.
Total Equity and Reserves equals the sum of Issued Share Capital (₦600,000), Share Premium (₦120,000), and Retained Earnings (₦180,000), giving ₦900,000. Debentures are long-term liabilities and are excluded.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify equity components
Issued Share Capital = ₦600,000, Share Premium = ₦120,000, Retained Earnings = ₦180,000.
Equity and Reserves comprises issued share capital, capital reserves (such as share premium), and revenue reserves (such as retained earnings).
2
Distinguish non-current liabilities
8% Debentures = ₦250,000 (Non-Current Liability).
Debentures represent long-term borrowed funds and must be classified under non-current liabilities, not equity.
3
Calculate Total Equity and Reserves
₦600,000 + ₦120,000 + ₦180,000 = ₦900,000
Summing all equity items yields total equity attributable to shareholders.
