  • Solution

    Gross profit is a company’s revenue minus its cost of goods sold. Gross profit is a company’s residual profit after selling a product or service and deducting the cost associated with its production and sale.

    Cost of goods sold is the direct costs attributable to the production or purchase of the goods sold by a company. It excludes indirect expenses such as distribution costs and sales force cost.

    Cost of goods sold = opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory

    Thus purchases = cost of goods sold + closing inventory – opening inventory = 80,700 + 6,000 – 5,800 = Rs. 80,900

Ankush Ltd. had issued 10,000, 10% Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.100 each, fully paid up. The company decided to redeem these preference shares at par, by issue of sufficient number of equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a premium of Rs.2 per share as fully
paid up. The amount to be transferred to capital redemption reserve account will be

  • 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 10% Redeemable preference shares to be redeemed = 10000 × 100 =
    1000000

    Face value of the fresh equity shares issued for the purpose = 1000000

    Thus amount to be transferred to the Capital Redemption Reserve Account = 1000000 – 1000000 = nil

    And liabilities = owing to Z Ltd. + interest received in advance = 3,750 + 250 = 4,000
