Question 1 Report

Larry Limited has 4,000,000 ordinary shares of 50k each and 150,000 5% prefrence shares of ₦1 each fully paid.

₦
Net profit for the year 90,000
Interim dividends paid:
Ordinary shares 25,000
Profit and loss appropriation b/f 10,000
Goodwill written off 1,000

At the end of the period, what is the balance of the profit and loss appropriation account?

Answer Details
Balance c/d = net profit + profit and loss - ( goodwill + ordinary share + preference share)
= (90,000 + 10,000) - ( 1000 + 25000 + 7500)
= 100,000 - 33500
= ₦66500
