Brilliant. Thanks for the video. I have a tip though ..the addition to the left hand eg Trade receivable (35,300+9,000-6400) , if you copy and paste it in the answer cell and add an equal sign to it will show the calcted answer of 37,900 ie =35,300+9,000-6400. This will save time and accuracy without having to use a calculator.
The management of Diversified Products Limited (DPL) are investigating whether to increase plant capacity. DPL is a manufacturing company that produces an array of products. One of its products, the Pod, has a selling price of R80 per unit. Based on a market survey, which cost R68 500, the marketing director is convinced that sales will increase for the next five years if the company was to increase current capacity. The marketing manager believes that capacity will increase to 35 000 should DPL buy a new plant. If DPL leased a new plant, there would be extra efficiencies and the capacity would increase to 40 000. The marketing manager will earn a bonus of R90 000 at the end of year three if his estimations are correct. The company’s current capacity is 30 000 units per annum. Each unit has a variable cost of R40 and an allocated fixed cost of R15, based on a capacity of 30 000 units per annum. A new plant could be purchased for R850 000. The new plant has an estimated useful life of five years, at the end of which the salvage value is expected to be R230 000. It is estimated that because of technological advances, the new plant will result in increased efficiencies and a reduction in variable costs of R10 per unit. Fixed costs, other than depreciation, are expected to increase by R5 per unit. The wear and tear allowance for the new machine is the same as the accounting depreciation. The lease payments would be R220 000, payable annually in advance for five years. The company’s WACC is 15%, the cost of equity 18% and the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.6. The company’s tax rate is 28% and taxation is paid annually at the end of the year. Help me Sir, is the variable and fixed costs relevant in the above question?
intra co goods sold by the subsidiary to parent... we take purp up to % of holding if subsidiary sold goods..right? then why you took 100% of it? I'm confused with this here
This was so helpful. My exam is in 2 weeks, which has given me confidence because everything you explained made sense.

Yeah
Thank you so much Chris...You are truly a blessing
Thanks. But when calculating I think it is better to enter in cell becouse you would be more unlikely to make errors type.
Thank you Chris for good explanation👍👏
If part b was actually part of Qs( a) then the investment in associate would be added to investments like
(55000-42500+ 4000asociate)
Great Chris thank you
Thanks Chirs
Thanks a lot for the video, I just have one question what happened to $4000 of Investment Associate that was calculated in Question.(b) part
