Shareholders must agree that their entire holding is subject to the UHF plan. Shares are issued at 95% of the closing AEK share price on the day in which the dividend is declared. It is likely that the calculation of the number of shares under the DHP plan will result in a part share {ie not a whole number]. in that event the number of shares will be rounded down to the neat whole number. For example, a calculation which results in 1234533 shares will be rounded down to 12345. IIi'il'heneverthe rounding occurs that rounded down number will be used as the basis for future transactions and calculations. The following shareholders agreed to have their shareholding be subject to the DEF plan: Johnson * Ltd __ _m _ _m _ _ _ _m __ _m m _ Im __ _::_ On the 15th June 20X1 the company determined a final dividend of 4.0 cents per ordinary share. This was declared on the 15th July 20X1 and paid the day after the annual general meeting which was held on the 14th September 20X1. The following are a selection of ASX closing daily share prices for GHL Date Closing Share Closing Share Price $ Date Price $ 30/4/X1 $5.00 31/7/X1 $5.28 15/5/X1 $5.08 15/8/X1 $5.22 31/5/X1 $5.26 31/8/X1 $5.18 15/6/X1 $5.28 14/9/X1 $5.38 30/6/X1 $5.23 30/9/X1 $5.30 15/7/X1 $5.20 14/10/X1 $5.29 REQUIREMENTS FOR STAGE 1 1. Prepare all the general journal entries for all transactions that result from the information above for Glacier Holdings Ltd. for the period 1" July 20X1 to 15th September 20X1. Where there is a calculation you should provide a working paper and your journal narration can refer to the working paper for details. 18 marks 2 . Provide a list of ordinary shareholders and the number of shares they each hold after the payment of the final dividend on 15th September 20X1. Also clearly state the following: .

The total number of ordinary shares on issue. 7 marksSTAGE 2 60 marks Stage 2 follows from the transactions and solutions from Stage 1. You should ensure that you have examined your solutions from Stage 1 and compared them to the suggested solution in MyUni, understood any differences and re-set (if necessary) any of your numbers. The matters which need to be addressed in Stage 2 are more complex than Stage 1 and some transactions lead into subsequent transactions. It is imperative that you take your time with these and make sure that you fully appreciate the implications and the resulting general journal entries. Accuracy of calculations and the numbers that follow is vitally important. It needs to be kept in mind that these matters deal with shareholders - that is, parties external to the company. This means, for example, that if a dividend is paid and shares issued as a result and it is later found that there is an error - then the shareholders will need to be advised, the corrections made to the dividend and the shares issued altered. In reality this would be extremely time consuming, expensive and embarrassing. Consequently, care needs to be taken so that calculations and numbers which flow through to subsequent matters are complete and correct. Any errors, and their flow through effects, will affect marks severely. The following are matters which occurred from Glacier Holdings Itd (GCL). 1. On the 30th October 20X1 the Board of Directors decided to offer ordinary shareholders a 1:10 rights issue. Shareholders who accept the offer pay 90% of the share price on the day of the Board decision. Acceptance and payment byshareholders needs to be made on the 16th December 20X1. The following shareholders took up the offer and paid the appropriate amounts on the required date: Johnson Pty Ltd Williams Ruthanne Jones Nadine Davis Jessie Wilson Gilma Thomas Matt Martin Zoe Thompson Deane Martinez Gonzalo Walker Wendy Allen Romana Young Ltd King Jeannette Wright Herta Scott Mer Green Sheldon Baker Forest Nelson Waterloo Pty Ltd Turner Craig Phillips Nedra Parker Ignatius Evans Ken Edwards Cassandra Collins Janet Brown Ltd Taylor Nathaniel Jackson International Fund Harris Shirley Garcia Pty Ltd Clark Hermelinda Rodriguez Edward Lewis Kurt Lee Shanti Hall Evelia Hernandez Quinton Lopez Stephanie Hill Mavis Adams Samantha Roberts Yvette Campbell Superannuateon Ltd2. An interim dividend of 5 cents per ordinary share was declared and paid on the 10th March 20X2. (Please refer to the Stage 1 information for DRP details.) 3. On the 18th June 20X2 the company determined a final dividend for the financial year of 5.5 cents per ordinary share. This was declared on the 20th July 20X2. The following are a selection of ASX daily closing share prices for GHL Date Closing Share Closing Share Price $ Date Price $ 14/10/X1 $5.29 31/3/X2 $5.43 30/10/X1 $5.36 10/4/X2 $5.53 16/11/X1 $5.41 30/4/X2 $5.51 30/11/X1 $5.40 15/5/X2 $5.60 16/12/X1 $5.33 31/5/X2 $5.54 31/12/X1 $5.31 18/6/X2 $5.48 12/1/X2 $5.27 30/6/X2 $5.68 31/1/X2 $5.18 11/7/X2 $5.70 12/2/X2 $5.29 20/7/X2 $5.75 28/2/X2 $5.35 31/7/X2 $5.68 10/3/X2 $5.40 20/8/X2 $5.69REQUIREMENTS FOR STAGE 2 1 .
