A. $110,000
B. $150,000
C. $160,000
D. $240,000
$200000-$160000=$40000
$40000/40000shares=$1/- per share
10000shares of $1/-=$10000
$10000+$150000=$160000
Option C is the Correct answer.
Opening bal equity in Johnson at year start was 150,000. It holds a 25% shareholding in Breva which had a profit after dividends been paid of 40,000. 25% of 40,000 is 10,000. Now add 10,000 to existing equity of 150,000 gives you an ending balance figure of 160,000
