Cases
Practical case
Mavrel SA (fictitious entity) in 20X6 bought back and then partly resold its own shares, declared a dividend on its ordinary shares, recognised the dividend of its redeemable preference shares, and issued together ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares with common costs. You prepare the entries and their effect on the financial statements.
Your assignment
Record the buyback of own shares; compute the cost and the proceeds of the shares resold and then the difference, and record the resale; record the dividend on the ordinary shares and compute and record the dividend on the preference shares classified as a liability; allocate the common issue costs between the two instruments on the basis of the proceeds (case convention), compute the net amount in equity and record the costs charged to equity; place the tax effect of distributions; present the effects on the financial statements and conclude. There is no workpaper.
