Amount of Cash Paid by Gamma Limited
Gamma Limited took over the partnership firm by using the following:
- 10,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at par = Rs. 100,000
- 30% preference shares of Rs. 10 each at 10% premium = Rs. 39,000 (30% of 10,000 shares = 3,000 shares x Rs. 10 + 10% premium)
- 12% debentures of Rs. 100 each at 10% discount = Rs. 1,08,000 (12% of Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 12,000 x 0.9)
- Balance in cash = ?
Kamal Limited took over net assets at an agreed value of Rs. 2,50,000. To find the amount of cash paid by Gamma Limited, we need to first calculate the total consideration paid by Gamma Limited, which is as follows:
- Equity Shares = Rs. 1,00,000
- Preference Shares = Rs. 39,000
- Debentures = Rs. 1,08,000
- Net Assets taken over by Kamal Limited = Rs. 2,50,000
Total Consideration Paid by Gamma Limited = Rs. 4,97,000
Now, to find the amount of cash paid by Gamma Limited, we subtract the total consideration paid from the total value of assets taken over, which is:
- Total Value of Assets taken over = Rs. 5,00,000
Therefore, the amount of cash paid by Gamma Limited is:
- Amount of Cash Paid = Total Value of Assets taken over - Total Consideration Paid
- Amount of Cash Paid = Rs. 5,00,000 - Rs. 4,97,000
- Amount of Cash Paid = Rs. 3,000
Explanation

The net assets of the partnership firm were taken over by Kamal Limited at an agreed value of Rs. 2,50,000. To determine the amount of cash paid by Gamma Limited, we first calculated the total consideration paid by them, which included the value of equity shares, preference shares, debentures, and net assets taken over by Kamal Limited. We then subtracted the total consideration paid from the total value of assets taken over to arrive at the amount of cash paid by Gamma Limited.
