Answer

To prepare the note for Ordinary Share Capital, we need to calculate the total issued share capital.

  1. Initial Share Issuance:
    • On 1 May 2015, 650,000 shares.
  2. Additional Shares Issued:
    • On 1 November 2015, an additional 150,000 shares at R6.45 each.
  3. Total Shares Issued:
    • Total shares = 650,000 + 150,000 = 800,000 shares.
  4. Calculating Share Capital:
    • Initial issuance contributed: 650,000 * R1 = R650,000.
    • Additional shares contributed: 150,000 * R6.45 = R967,500.
    • Therefore, total ordinary share capital = R650,000 + R967,500 = R1,617,500.

Answer

To prepare the note for Retained Income, we need to consider the net profit, dividends, and tax implications.

  1. Opening Retained Income:
    • Assume it begins at R0 for simplicity.
  2. Net Profit for the Year:
    • Net profit = R1,228,000.
  3. Interim Dividends Paid:
    • Dividend of 35 cents per share on 800,000 shares = R280,000.
  4. Final Dividends Declared:
    • Final dividend of 25 cents per share on 800,000 shares = R200,000.
  5. Calculating Retained Income:
    • Retained income = Opening balance + Net profit - Dividends
    • = R0 + R1,228,000 - (280,000 + 200,000) = R748,000.

Answer

To complete the Balance Sheet:

  1. Assets:

    • Total Fixed Assets = R4,042,000.
    • Current Assets (Trading Stock + Debtors + Cash and Cash Equivalents) = R600,000 + R111,860 + Estimate cash balance to satisfy balance sheet equation.
  2. Liabilities:

    • Current Liabilities (Creditors + BXT loan) should be accounted for alongside any unpaid taxes.
  3. Equity:

    • Add the calculated Ordinary Share Capital and Retained Income to determine total equity.
  4. Final Balance:

    • Ensure that Total Assets = Total Equity + Total Liabilities.
