Win Ltd. issued 20,000, 8% debentures of Rs.10 each at par, which are redeemable after 5 years at a premium of 20%. The amount of loss on redemption of debentures to be written
off every year will be

  • Solution

    Loss on redemption of debenture will be equal to the premium at which the debentures are redeemable after number of years

    Here loss on redemption of debenture will be equal to the premium of 20% at which the debentures are redeemable after 5 years

    The face value of 8% debentures = Rs. 20,000 × 10 = Rs. 2,00,000

    Thus loss on redemption of debentures will be = 20% of 2,00,000 = Rs. 40,000

    This loss on redemption of debenture will be written off over the period for which the debentures are issued. Thus this loss will be written off for 5 years here.

    The amount of loss on redemption of debentures to be written off every year will be 40,000/5 = Rs. 8,000

G Ltd. purchased land and building from H Ltd. for a book value of Rs. 2,00,000. The consideration was paid by issue of 12% Debentures of Rs. 100 each at a discount of 20%.
The debentures account is credited with

  • Solution

    In this problem G Ltd. purchased land and building from H Ltd. for a book value of Rs. 2,00,000 and the consideration was paid by issue of 12% Debentures of Rs. 100 each at a discount of 20% the debentures are being issued at a discount thus the value of each share issued will be 100 – 20% of 100 = 100 – 20 = 80

    Total value of land and building acquired = Rs. 2,00,000

    Number of debentures issued = total value of assets acquired/value per debenture = 2,00,000/80 = 2,500 debentures

    Thus the debentures account will be credited by 2,500 × 100 = Rs. 2,50,000

Koina Ltd. issued 15,00,000, 12% debentures of Rs. 50 each at premium of 10% payable as Rs. 20 on application and balance on allotment. Debentures are redeemable at par after 6
years. All the money due on allotment was called up and received. The amount of premium will be

  • Solution

    When debentures are issued at a premium, the issue price is more than the par value. The premium is transferred to securities premium account.

    Here 15,00,000, 12% debentures of Rs. 50 each are issued at premium of 10%
    The face value of debentures issued is = 15,00,000 × 50 = 7,50,00,000
    Thus the amount of premium will be = 10% of 7,50,00,000 = Rs. 75,00,000

Rich Ltd. had 3,000, 12% Redeemable preference shares of Rs. 100 each, fully paid-up. The company issued 25,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at par and 1,000 14% debentures of
Rs. 100 each. All amounts were received in full. The payment was made in full. The amount to be transferred to Capital Redemption Reserve Account is

  • Solution

    Whenever a company redeems its preference shares then the nominal value or face value of the shares is put into capital redemption reserve fund. There after this fund becomes the part of the paid capital of the company.

    Capital Redemption Revere is also created when a company buys it owns shares which reduce its share capital.

    Suppose, the fresh equity shares or preference shares are issued to redeem the old preference shares, in this case the difference between the face value of preference shares and fresh shares issued will be transferred to capital redemption reserve account.

    The capital redemption reserve fund is transferred from undistributed profits i.e general reserves, profit or loss account.

    A redeemable preference share can be redeemed entirely out of fresh issue of new preference or equity shares but not debentures.

    Here the face value of the 12% Redeemable preference shares to be redeemed = 3000 × 100 = 3,00,000
    Face value of the fresh equity shares issued for the purpose = 25,000 × 10 = 2,50,000
    Thus amount to be transferred to the Capital Redemption Reserve Account = 3,00,000 – 2,50,000 = Rs. 50,000

The Board of Directors of a company decides to issue minimum number of equity shares of Rs. 9 each at par to redeem Rs. 5,00,000 preference shares. The maximum amount of
divisible profits available for redemption is Rs. 3,00,000. The number of shares to be issued by the company will be

  • Solution

    A redeemable preference share can be redeemed either – Entirely out of fresh issue of new preference or equity shares
    (but not debentures). Or
    Entirely out of divisible profits. Or
    Partly out of fresh issue and partly out of divisible profits.
    Here the Board of Directors of a company decides to issue minimum number of equity shares and the maximum amount of divisible profits available for redemption is Rs. 3,00,000. So this is the case of redemption partly out of fresh issue and partly out of divisible profits.

    Total value of preference shares to be redeemed = Rs. 5,00,000
    Less: divisible profits available for redemption = Rs. 3,00,000
    Total value of shares to be issued = 2,00,000
    Value per equity share = Rs. 9
    Thus shares to be issued = 2,00,000/9 = 22,223 shares

A company offers to the public 10,000 shares for subscription. The company receives application for 12,000 shares. If the shares are allotted on pro-rata basis, then applicants for 12,000 shares are to be allotted as

  • Solution

    When issue is over-subscribed, the company will have to allot to each applicant according to the number of share applied by him. The excess application money is adjusted towards the sum due on allotment. Pro rata actually means ‘in proportion’.

    So the proportion in which the shares will be alloted = total shares allotted/total shares applications Here company offers to the public 10,000 shares for subscription and receives application for 12,000
    shares.

    So the proportion in which the shares are to be allotted = 10000/12000 = 5/6
    i.e. 5 shares for every 6 shares applied

10,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each were issued to public at a premium of Rs.2 per share. Applications were received for 12,000 shares. Amount of securities premium account will be

  • Solution

    Here 10,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each were issued to public at a premium of Rs. 2 per share.

    Applications were received for 12,000 shares. The excess application money and the premium money received will be shown in the current liabilities till the further course of action is decided.

    So the amount of securities premium account will be number of shares issued × premium per share = 10000 × 2 = Rs. 20,000

Raj, Jai and Hari are the partners sharing profits in the ratio 7:5:4. Hari died on 30th June, 2012 and profits for the accounting year 2011-2012 were Rs. 24,000. How much share in profits for the period 1st April, 2012 to 30th June, 2012 will be credited to Hari’s Account.

  • Solution

    On the death of a partner, the representatives are entitled to Share of profit upto the date of death. Profit
    till date will be calculated on the basis of last years profit.

    Here the profit of the accounting year 2011-2012 i.e. last year = 24,000

    The profit sharing ratio of Raj, Jai and Hari is 7 : 5 : 4
    Thus share in profits for the period 1st April 2012 to 30th June 2012 to be credited to Hari’s Account will be calculated as follows:
    Profit for the period on the basis of last year’s profit will be Rs. 24,000 × 3/12 = Rs. 6,000
    Share of Hari in profit = 4/16 of 6,000 = Rs. 1,500

Anju Ltd. forfeited 300 equity shares of Rs. 10 each fully called-up, held by Manju for nonpayment of final call @ Rs. 4 each. However, she paid application money @ Rs.2 per share and allotment money @ Rs. 4 per share. These shares were originally issued at par. The amount to be credited to Share forfeiture account will be:

  • Solution

    When shares issued at par are forfeited the accounting treatment will be as follows:

    (i) Debit Share Capital Account with amount called up (whether received or not) per share up to the time of forfeiture.
    (ii) Credit Share Forfeited A/c. with the amount received up to the time of forfeiture.
    (iii) Credit ‘Unpaid Calls A/c’ with the amount due on forfeited shares. This cancels the effect of debit to such calls which take place when the amount is made due. forfeited shares account will be credited by the amount which has been received in respect of forfeited shares.

    Here Manju paid application money @ Rs. 2 per share and allotment money @ Rs. 4 per share but did not pay the final call money so 300 shares held by her was forfeited.

    Thus amount to be transferred to the shares forfeited account will be = 300 × 2 + 300 × 4 = Rs. 1,800

A company issued 15,000, 9% preference shares of Rs.100 each at par and 2,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at 10% premium. Full amount was received from the applicants
in one instalment. The net balance of securities premium account will be:

  • Solution

    Equity shares are issued at a premium of 10%. So the amount available in the securities premium account = 10% of 2,00,000 × 10 = Rs. 2,00,000
