FAQs on Issue of shares (Important Questions) : Accountancy Class 12

1. What is the concept of issuing shares in accounting?
Ans. Issuing shares refers to the process of offering and selling company ownership units, known as shares, to investors in order to raise capital for the business. It allows companies to generate funds for various purposes such as expansion, acquisitions, and debt repayment.
2. What are the types of shares that can be issued by a company?
Ans. A company can issue different types of shares, including: - Equity shares: These represent ordinary shares and give the shareholders ownership rights in the company along with voting rights. - Preference shares: These shares carry preferential rights in terms of dividend payment and return of capital. Preference shareholders receive a fixed dividend before equity shareholders. - Redeemable shares: These shares have a fixed maturity date, upon which the company buys back the shares from the shareholders. - Cumulative preference shares: These shares accumulate unpaid dividends and are entitled to receive them in future years.
3. How does a company determine the issue price of shares?
Ans. The issue price of shares is determined by considering several factors, such as the company's financial position, market conditions, demand-supply dynamics, and the desired capital structure. Companies may also consider factors like the face value of shares, premium, and discounts, if any, while determining the issue price.
4. What are the accounting entries for the issuance of shares?
Ans. When shares are issued, the following accounting entries are recorded: - Debit: Bank or Cash (amount received from the shareholders) - Credit: Share Capital (amount related to the face value of the shares) - Credit: Share Premium (if any, representing the excess of issue price over the face value)
5. Can a company issue shares at a price lower than their face value?
Ans. No, as per the Companies Act, 2013, a company cannot issue shares at a price lower than their face value. The face value represents the minimum value of a share, and the issue price must be equal to or higher than the face value. However, companies can issue shares at a premium, which is the amount above the face value that investors are willing to pay.
