Answer
In January, the company decided to revalue the land and buildings at €700,000, which includes land valued at €90,000 as of 1/1/2010. This impacts the balance sheet by increasing the total fixed assets. All records should reflect this change in value.

Answer
In February, Moore Ltd acquired a business for a total of €200,000 in buildings and €30,000 in equipment, along with debtors and creditors. The purchase was financed by issuing 18,000 shares at a premium of €0.20 each, which should be recorded in the Capital and Reserves section.

Answer
In April, a new provision of 7% of the debtors should be established. If debtors are valued at €76,200, the provision becomes €5,334, reducing net current assets accordingly.

Answer
In April, the vehicle worth €25,000 was traded in for a new vehicle costing €35,000. Depreciation amounting to €5,500 for the old vehicle should be accounted for, appropriately impacting the asset values.

Answer
In June, a stock adjustment for €600 should be recognized, affecting the current asset balance. The selling price implication is that this will reflect an increase in revenue in future accounts.

Answer
In November, the total depreciation charge, after accounting for previous entries, needs to be finalized. The calculation method will be straight line based, and the final amount must be included in the profit and loss statement.
