Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 50000

Cevap

The balance of Retained Earnings as at 31st December 2025 is ₦50,000.
Under the company accounting framework, Net Assets equals total Shareholders' Equity. Total Assets of ₦800,000 less Current Liabilities of ₦70,000 and Non-Current Liabilities of ₦100,000 leaves Net Assets of ₦630,000. Subtracting the known equity items (Share Capital ₦500,000 + Share Premium ₦50,000 + General Reserve ₦30,000 = ₦580,000) yields the Retained Earnings balance of ₦50,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate Total Assets
₦800,000
Total Assets is the sum of Non-Current Assets (₦620,000) and Current Assets (₦180,000).
2
Calculate Net Assets (Capital Employed by Equity)
₦630,000
Net Assets is determined by deducting Current Liabilities (₦70,000) and Non-Current Liabilities (₦100,000) from Total Assets (₦800,000).
3
Sum known Shareholders' Equity components
₦580,000
Add Share Capital (₦500,000), Share Premium (₦50,000), and General Reserve (₦30,000).
4
Deduct known equity components from Net Assets to solve for Retained Earnings
₦50,000
Retained Earnings = Net Assets (₦630,000) - Known Equity (₦580,000) = ₦50,000.

The financial records of Crestwood Logistics Ltd at the end of its financial year showed Total Non-Current Assets of ₦1,200,000 and Net Current Assets of ₦350,000. If 8% Debentures stood at ₦400,000 and total reserves were ₦250,000, what is the value of the Issued Share Capital in the Statement of Financial Position?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦900,000

Cevap

The Issued Share Capital of Crestwood Logistics Ltd is ₦900,000.
In a corporate Statement of Financial Position, Total Net Assets equals Non-Current Assets plus Net Current Assets (₦1,200,000 + ₦350,000 = ₦1,550,000). Total Net Assets are financed by Shareholders' Funds (Issued Share Capital + Reserves) and Non-Current Liabilities (Debentures). Subtracting Reserves (₦250,000) and Debentures (₦400,000) from ₦1,550,000 gives an Issued Share Capital of ₦900,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate Total Net Assets (Capital Employed)
Total Net Assets = Non-Current Assets + Net Current Assets = ₦1,200,000 + ₦350,000 = ₦1,550,000
Total Net Assets represents the overall net resources employed by the company.
2
Set up the Capital Employed equation
Capital Employed = Issued Share Capital + Reserves + Non-Current Liabilities (Debentures)
The Statement of Financial Position balancing equation requires total capital financing to equal total net assets.
3
Solve for Issued Share Capital
Issued Share Capital = ₦1,550,000 - ₦250,000 - ₦400,000 = ₦900,000
Deducting reserves and long-term liabilities from capital employed yields the equity share capital.

Cevap

Share Premium Account matches Reserves and Surplus, 10% Debentures matches Non-Current Liabilities, Trade Receivables matches Current Assets, and Proposed Dividend Payable matches Current Liabilities.
In a company's Statement of Financial Position, Share Premium is presented under Reserves and Surplus (Equity), Debentures payable in 5 years fall under Non-Current Liabilities, Trade Receivables fall under Current Assets, and Proposed Dividend Payable is listed under Current Liabilities.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Share premium is an equity reserve representing premiums received on share issues.
2

Debentures maturing in 5 years are long-term liabilities, whereas proposed dividends must be settled within the upcoming accounting period.
3
Classify short-term operational assets.
Trade Receivables match Current Assets.
Amounts owed by trade debtors are realized as cash within a short operational cycle.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

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.
