Note to Teachers:
Extend a bright class by asking them how much each shareholder would get per share if the company closed
down and sold its assets at the values in the books (R11.07). They could then query why the directors is-
sued shares to the new shareholders at only 560 cents per share when there is such a high retained income,
which makes the value of each share more than 1 100 cents (they have paid about half of what the share is
worth).
