(a)    R Riggs Limited net assets is £35337.00.

Obtaining a 5-year loan of £20000.00 at 10 % interest per annum.

The 10% interest per annum would be 10/100*20000 which is equal to £2000 .00.

This shows the company will be paying £2000 every year.

In 5 years the interest rate will be £10,000.

The loan of £20000.00 will have no negative effect on the company

because it will be repayable within 5 years and the company net

 assets are already £35337.00

R Riggs will be able to pay back the money conveniently but it will be an added liability, which is the change in liability.

£4.50 per share is a plus to the company because the company net assets will increase by £4,500 to £39,837.00. This will have a positive effect on the business of R Riggs and increase in capital.
