Explanation

(ai) Authorized capital is also known as Registered or Nominal capital. It is a capital that is stated in the company's
memorandum of association which a company can issue out for subscription.

(aii) Liquid capital is made up of assets that can be easily converted into cash/money. e.g debts, near money, bank balabce etc.

(bi) Fixed assets: Equipment + Motor van + Furnitures and fittings
= 150,000 + 300,000 + 40,000
= D 490,000

(bii) Current liabilities: Creditors + Overdraft
= 120,000 + 45,000
= D 165,000

(biii) Current assets: Cash at bank + Stock + Debtors
= 25,000 + 25,000 + 150,000
= D 200,000

(iv) Working Capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
= 200,000 - 165,000
= D 35,000

(v) Average stock = Opening stock + Closing stock / 2

= 30,000 + 25,000/ 2
= 55,000/2
= D 27,500
