Do you agree with this statement ? why or why not ? write at least 200-250 words and gives examples of current stuituion. Leveraged Buyout (LBO) operations, or leveraged acquisitions, refer to the acquisition of part or all of an asset, such as a company, using third party capital (debt) as a significant part of the transaction value. Leveraged acquisitions began to be used in the USA by private equity funds and gained prominence in the 1980s, a period in which the cost of capital was low and allowed them to take high risks to make some acquisitions feasible.
The purpose of leveraged acquisitions is to allow the investor to make major acquisitions in the market, without the need to compromise or contribute the total value of the business. The investor who chooses to acquire a company via LBO only needs to commit a small portion of the total capital allocated to the purchase of the new business. In contrast, the largest portion is due to the use of debt, which will be issued by the acquired company itself. An LBO operation is very similar to a mortgage loan, where the financing is guaranteed by the property to be purchased, whereas, in the LBO, the debt contracted is secured by the assets of the acquired company.

The most iconic LBO operation that has ever occurred was that of RJR Nabisco, an American group formed by the merger of the companies R. J. Reynolds (manufacturer of cigarettes) and Nabisco (of food products). RJR Nabisco was acquired in an LBO transaction carried out by the PE Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. fund in 1988 for $ 25 billion. RJR Nabisco's Unlevered beta at the time was 0.69, which meant that the group was relatively insensitive to market fluctuations, in addition to low levels of indebtedness, made RJR Nabisco a good attractive business for an LBO operation.
The expectation with leveraged acquisitions is that the return generated on the acquisition offsets the interest paid on the debt, thus making it attractive to experience high returns while the company that runs the LBO only risks a small amount of equity.

lease agreement states payments of R20,000 must be paid for six years on 31 May each year, starting on 31 May 2020. At the end of the six year period legal title of the asset will pass to Grantly.
● Grantly believes the only accounting entry he must make in relation to this asset is for the R20,000 payment he has made and he has treated this as an operating expense.
● Grantly acquired 600,000 ordinary shares in Clo on 1 June 2016 for R1,550,000 when the reserves of Clo were R200,000.
● At the date of acquisition of Clo, the fair value of its property was R375,000 higher than its book value and considered to have a remaining life of 10 years.
● Grantly acquired 150,000 ordinary shares in Donte on 1 June 2019 for R400,000 when the reserves of Donte were R90,000. The fair values of assets of Donte were the same as their net book value at that date. Depreciation should be treated as an operating expense.

(a) Prepare the calculations for the adjustments required to be made in the accounts of Grantly for the year ended 31 May 2020, to account for the finance lease in note (i).

accumulated depreciation of R32,000.
ii) On 30 September 2020 YZ revalued its land to R9,500,000.
