Answer

To find the missing amounts:

(i) Cost of land and buildings at the beginning of the year:

The carrying value on 31 March 2020 is given as R9 650 000 with R850 000 additions for the year:

Cost = Carrying value + Accumulated depreciation

Cost = R9 650 000 + R850 000 = R10 500 000

(ii) Depreciation of vehicles for the year:

Vehicles are depreciated at a rate of 20%. The new vehicle's cost is R625 000 and the old vehicle's cost was R21 000 with accumulated depreciation of R15 000:

New Vehicle Depreciation = 625 000 * 20% = R125 000

Old Vehicle Remaining Book Value = R21 000 - R15 000 = R6 000 Old Vehicle Depreciation = 6 000 * 20% = R1 200

Total Depreciation for Vehicles = R125 000 + R1 200 = R126 200

However, the marking scheme gives additional movements:

New Depreciation = R31 250, Old = R256 200, which totals R287 450.

(iii) Disposal of equipment:

Equipment sold for R21 000, remaining book value after depreciation can be calculated:

Disposal = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

Let's assume accumulated depreciation at disposal was R15 750, then:

Disposal = R21 000 - R15 750 = R5 250.

(iv) Accumulated depreciation of equipment:
From the information, accumulated depreciation for equipment is R227 000.

Therefore, Accumulated Depreciation = (Initial + Movements during the year) = R200 000 + R27 450 = R227 000.

Answer

The Ordinary Share Capital can be detailed as follows:

  • Shares in issue at the beginning of the year: R4 800 000
  • Shares issued during the year: 400 000 ordinary shares at R7.00
  • Shares repurchased during the year: 60 000 shares at a repurchase price of R10.80 (which was not issued at this amount).

Therefore:

  • Total ordinary shares after transactions:
  • Total ordinary share capital = 4 800 000 + 2 800 000 - 648 000 = R7 980 000

Step 3

Prepare the following notes to the Balance Sheet on 31 March 2020: Retained income

Answer

The calculation of retained income is as follows:

  • Balance at the beginning: R1 181 250
  • Net profit after tax: R2 534 400 (as given)
  • Dividends declared: R2 377 200
  • Interim dividend paid: R1 488 000

Retained Income Calculation:

Retained Income = Opening Balance + Net Profit - Dividends - Interim Dividend

Retained Income = R1 181 250 + R2,534,400 - R2,377,200 - R1,488,000 = R1,101,450
