    Had to read this one and then think about it for ages. We are told if the company purchases the the machine - the divisions' assets will increase by a million plus the profits for that period. Add these two figures to the net assets from the November figure in the report given on page 6. and that's it!!
    Pity I dont have that long in the exam to think about it though! I'm on my 4th resit!!

    This is how i do the working =:
    Gross profit on your forcast profit and loss
    168,000 + Nov net asset 1,204700 = 1372700 (Renting)

    No it does'nt! So can only assume this from the answers given and then working it backwards!

    It might seem odd, but in the additional data it says:

    "If the company rents the machine, the division’s net assets will only increase by the profit for
    the period."

    Based on that you can conclude that you're supposed to use the November figures, however, it doesn't seem to make sense, since this includes the Creditors, Debtor and stock figures and these normally don't stay the same every month.

    I hope this helps! Although it took me a while to work out as well.
