Accrued expenses12,000Current liability
Creditors5,000Current liability
Bank overdraft3,500Current liability

Fixed assets = 75,000 + 65,000 + 60,000 + 60,000 + 18,000 = N278,000

Current assets = 20,000 + 10,000 + 8,000 + 6,000 + 6,000 = N50,000

Current liabilities = 12,000 + 5,000 + 3,500 = N20,500

(a)(i) Capital owned = Total assets - External liabilities

= (278,000 + 50,000) - 20,500 = 328,000 - 20,500 = N307,500

(a)(ii) Fixed assets = N278,000

(a)(iii) Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

= 50,000 - 20,500 = N29,500

(b) Five sources of capital available to a public limited company

  1. Issue of ordinary (equity) shares
  2. Issue of preference shares
  3. Issue of debentures
  4. Long-term loans from banks and financial institutions
