Freedom Institute answered |
Dividend is payable at the end of the financial year upon such share which money is made. Calls in advance means the amount which is received in advance before the amount is due from shareholders and calls in arrears means which money that is not given by public to company earlier and is due. To calculate the dividend payable we have to subtract calls in arrear from Share capital so, Rs 5,00,000 - Rs 40,000 =4,60,000. 15 % is the proposed dividend, hence, amount of dividend payable is Rs 69,000

Shares forfeiture account contains the balance of money paid on the shares forfeited.
► Number of shares = 20
► Money paid on shares = 2+3 = 5
► Money unpaid on shares = (8-5) = 3
► Balance in shares forfeiture account before shares were re-issued = 20*5 = 100
► Number of shares = 20
► Money paid on shares = 2+3 = 5
► Money unpaid on shares = (8-5) = 3
► Balance in shares forfeiture account before shares were re-issued = 20*5 = 100

The number of shares to be issued by G Ltd. to settle the purchase consideration is:
7,500 shares
This can be calculated by dividing the total purchase consideration (Rs. 75,000) by the value of each share (Rs. 10 + Rs. 5 premium = Rs. 15 per share). 75,000 / 15 = 5,000 shares
Option 4, 7,500 shares is the correct answer

In case of non- payment of any of the call money, the shares get forfeited. Later these shares can be sold at the called up value.
On issue of forfeited shares, the share capital account is debited with the called up value i.e 18,000 (2000*9).

Nandini Iyer answered |
“Capital Reserve” means the part of profit reserved by the company for a particular purpose such as to finance long-term projects or to write off capital expenses. If we reverse the words, then we get a new term “Reserve Capital”. The two terms might seem alike to a layman, but these are not one and the same thing, as they carry different meanings. Reserve Capital shows the part of the authorized capital that has not yet called up by the company and is available for drawing, if necessary.
While the creation of capital reserve is mandatory for all the companies, there is no such compulsion for maintaining reserve capital. In this article excerpt, we have compiled all the important differences between capital reserve and reserve capital. Have a look.

Saumya Khanna answered |
Given:
Cost of Machinery = Rs. 1,80,000
Face Value of Share = Rs. 100
Discount = 10%
To find: Number of shares given as consideration
Solution:
Discount on the face value of the share = 10%
So, the amount paid per share = Face Value - Discount = Rs. 100 - Rs. 10 = Rs. 90
Number of shares required to pay Rs. 1,80,000 = Cost of Machinery / Amount paid per share
= Rs. 1,80,000 / Rs. 90
= 2000 shares
Therefore, the number of shares given as consideration is 2000.
Answer: Option B) 2000 shares.
Cost of Machinery = Rs. 1,80,000
Face Value of Share = Rs. 100
Discount = 10%
To find: Number of shares given as consideration
Solution:
Discount on the face value of the share = 10%
So, the amount paid per share = Face Value - Discount = Rs. 100 - Rs. 10 = Rs. 90
Number of shares required to pay Rs. 1,80,000 = Cost of Machinery / Amount paid per share
= Rs. 1,80,000 / Rs. 90
= 2000 shares
Therefore, the number of shares given as consideration is 2000.
Answer: Option B) 2000 shares.

The correct answer is Capital Reserve account.
Capital Reserve Account:
- Capital reserves are created from profits that are not intended for distribution as dividends to shareholders. They are created to strengthen the financial position of the company and to meet future contingencies or unforeseen situations.
- In this case, the company is receiving net assets of Rs. 1,20,000 in exchange for fully-paid shares of Rs. 1,00,000. This means that the company has gained Rs. 20,000 in value from the transaction.
- Since this gain is not a part of the company's normal operating activities, it cannot be credited to the Profit and Loss account. Similarly, it is not a payment made to the vendor, so it cannot be credited to the Vendor's account. And it doesn't represent the value of intangible assets like a company's reputation or brand, so it cannot be credited to the Goodwill account.
- Instead, the Rs. 20,000 gain is a capital reserve, which is created to strengthen the company's financial position. It can be used in the future for purposes such as expansion, payment of dividends, or to meet any other contingencies that may arise.
So, the balance of Rs. 20,000 will be credited to the Capital Reserve account.

Debit of Share Capital after forfeit
The share capital will be debited by the amount paid by the shareholder at the time of application and allotment, as well as the amount not paid by the shareholder on the first call.
Calculation:
Total amount paid by the shareholder = Rs. 3 (on application) + Rs. 3 (on allotment) = Rs. 6 per share
Total amount not paid by the shareholder on the first call = Rs. 2 per share
Number of shares held by the shareholder = 10,000
Total share capital = 10,000 shares x Rs. 10 per share = Rs. 1,00,000
Amount paid by the shareholder = 10,000 shares x Rs. 6 per share = Rs. 60,000
Amount not paid by the shareholder on the first call = 10,000 shares x Rs. 2 per share = Rs. 20,000
Therefore, the share capital after forfeiture will be debited by:
Rs. 60,000 (amount paid by the shareholder) + Rs. 20,000 (amount not paid by the shareholder on the first call) = Rs. 80,000
Hence, option 'C' is the correct answer.

Srsps answered |
The correct option is A.
When the shares are forfeited the premium which has already been received cannot be debited as this amount has already been paid by shareholders and cannot be debited for the purpose of receiving the amount in future.
a newly opened business cannot issue shares at discount since it has no earnings as of now. If this happens, the company might be in loss and may lose the opportunity for goodwill.
Security premium is used by many companies to redeem their preference shares in case of shortage of funds.
Hence, the option A is false because forfeited shares can be reissued at premium if the company needs funds in its reserves.

Calculation of securities premium account
Total number of shares issued = 10,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
Premium received per share = Rs. 2
Total amount received from public = (10,000 x 10) + (10,000 x 2) = Rs. 1,20,000
Total number of shares applied for = 12,000
Amount to be refunded = (12,000 - 10,000) x 10 = Rs. 20,000
Amount credited to securities premium account = Total amount received - Amount to be refunded
= Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 20,000
= Rs. 1,00,000
Therefore, the amount of securities premium account will be Rs. 20,000 (Option A).
Total number of shares issued = 10,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
Premium received per share = Rs. 2
Total amount received from public = (10,000 x 10) + (10,000 x 2) = Rs. 1,20,000
Total number of shares applied for = 12,000
Amount to be refunded = (12,000 - 10,000) x 10 = Rs. 20,000
Amount credited to securities premium account = Total amount received - Amount to be refunded
= Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 20,000
= Rs. 1,00,000
Therefore, the amount of securities premium account will be Rs. 20,000 (Option A).

Calculation of Interest on Calls-in-arrear
Given information:
- Call amount per share = Rs. 30
- Mr. C holds 7,500 shares
- Call payment due date = January 31, 2004
- Mr. C paid call money on March 15, 2004
- Table A of the Companies Act is adopted
Calculation:
- Total call amount due = Rs. 30 x 7,500 = Rs. 2,25,000
- Call money paid within due date = Rs. 30 x 7,500 = Rs. 2,25,000
- Call money paid after due date = Rs. 30 x 7,500 = Rs. 2,25,000
- Calls-in-arrear = Rs. 2,25,000 - Rs. 2,25,000 = Rs. 0
- Interest on calls-in-arrear = Calls-in-arrear x 10% x (number of days delayed/365)
- Number of days delayed = March 15, 2004 - January 31, 2004 = 44 days
- Interest on calls-in-arrear = 0 x 10% x (44/365) = Rs. 0
Therefore, the amount of interest on calls-in-arrear to be paid by Mr. C is Rs. 0.
Note: As per Table A of the Companies Act, the company has the power to charge interest on calls-in-arrear at a rate not exceeding 10% per annum or at a rate fixed by the articles of association. In this case, since Mr. C paid the call money before any interest was due, no interest is payable.

Mehul Ghoshal answered |
The correct answer is option 'A' i.e. 15% p.a. Let's understand why.
Reason for Interest Payment
When a company issues shares, it mentions a face value of the share. Sometimes, investors end up paying more than the face value of the share. This excess amount paid is called "Excess Share Application Money". The company has to refund this excess amount to the investors. However, if the company is not able to refund this amount within a reasonable time, it has to pay interest on it.
Rate of Interest
As per Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013, if a company fails to refund the excess share application money within 15 days from the date of allotment, it has to pay interest to the investor. The rate of interest is 15% per annum or such other rate as may be prescribed by the Central Government. Therefore, option 'A' is the correct answer.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if a company is unable to refund the excess amount of share within a reasonable time, it has to pay interest to the investors. As per the Companies Act, 2013, the rate of interest is 15% per annum or such other rate as may be prescribed by the Central Government.

Issuance of Right Shares
Right shares are issued by a company to its existing shareholders. These shares give the shareholders the right to purchase additional shares in the company at a discounted price. The issuance of right shares is a way for companies to raise capital without having to go through the process of issuing new shares to the public.
Who are issued Right Shares?
The following are the people who are issued right shares:
1. Promoters: Promoters of the company may be issued right shares as compensation for their services. This is a way for the company to reward its promoters for their efforts in promoting the company and helping it grow.
2. Holders of Convertible Debentures: Holders of convertible debentures may also be issued right shares. This is because convertible debentures can be converted into equity shares at a later date, and right shares give the debenture holders the right to purchase additional shares at a discounted price.
3. Existing Shareholders: The primary purpose of issuing right shares is to give existing shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares at a discounted price. This helps to maintain the existing shareholding pattern of the company and allows shareholders to increase their stake in the company without having to purchase shares from the open market.
Conclusion
In conclusion, right shares are issued to existing shareholders of a company who are given the right to purchase additional shares at a discounted price.

Minimum Application Money for Equity Shares
The minimum amount of application money to be collected per share can be calculated as follows:
- Face value of one share = Rs.100
- Premium on one share = 40% of face value = Rs.40
- Total cost of one share = Face value + Premium = Rs.100 + Rs.40 = Rs.140
- Minimum application money = 5% of total cost = 5% of Rs.140 = Rs.7
- However, as per SEBI guidelines, the minimum application money cannot exceed Rs.5 per share.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Rs.5.00.
Explanation
When a company issues shares to the public, it has to ensure that the minimum application money collected from the investors is not too high. This is because if the minimum application money is too high, it may discourage small investors from applying for the shares. Hence, SEBI has prescribed guidelines on the minimum application money that can be collected.
In this case, T Ltd. is proposing to issue equity shares of Rs.100 each at a premium of 40%. This means that the company will sell each share for Rs.140. As per SEBI guidelines, the minimum application money that can be collected is 5% of the total cost of one share. Hence, the minimum application money for one share is Rs.7.
However, SEBI has also prescribed that the minimum application money cannot exceed Rs.5 per share. Hence, the minimum application money for one share is capped at Rs.5.
The minimum amount of application money to be collected per share can be calculated as follows:
- Face value of one share = Rs.100
- Premium on one share = 40% of face value = Rs.40
- Total cost of one share = Face value + Premium = Rs.100 + Rs.40 = Rs.140
- Minimum application money = 5% of total cost = 5% of Rs.140 = Rs.7
- However, as per SEBI guidelines, the minimum application money cannot exceed Rs.5 per share.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Rs.5.00.

Rajat Patel answered |
A portion of the surplus almost always results in retained earnings, which has the effect of increasing shareholders' equity. A specific part of the surplus comes from other sources, such as increasing the value of fixed assets carried on the balance sheet, the sale of stock at a premium, or the lowering of the par value on common stock. These "other" sources are frequently called "Capital Surplus" and placed on the balance sheet.
In other words, Capital Surplus tells you how much of the company's shareholders' equity is not due to retained earnings.
