IPCC 2951 views 17 replies

Let me any body confirm that question 2(a) is correct or not, In the problem they have given 75000 equity shares of Rs.100 each = 75,00,000. On this 20% means = 15,00,000. Total available profit = 10,00,000. How can we distribute... If that share value will Rs.10 we can do that, please clarify..

Don't know about that, have to pay or not for equity dividend.. In question given that "after making provision (1), (2), (3) mentioned above" So without paying to equity shares how can we calculate..
2(b) is per and post incorporation profit.. and 5(b) from h.purchase and 7(a) from Non trading concern , 7(b) cash flow statement

hey gys .. u all dont wrry abt anything .. just stay focussed on ur next exam.. if there is any mistake reg question in exam.. then ICAI will deal it with in right manner.. normally if anything like that happen from ICAI.. then ICAI give proportionate marks to each student but only those who hav attempted that particular question... so dont wrry abt it. ICAI wil deal with it.. TRUST ICAI.. and all the best for ur next exam

I need solution of that
The question was right and we have to calculate bonus by taking it x and susquently decreasing x- eqd pref. Div. Because the bonus calculation method is not provided in question and equity dividend and pref. Dividend has to be calculated after deducting x that is bonus. Refer parveen sharma book , similar question is there.
If I did not attempt the sbove qurstion any benefit could be given by ICAI
If anyone reply my quary
