Test: Issue, Forfeiture And Reissue Of Shares - 2 - Question 26

A company makes an issue of 10,000 equity shares of Rs. 100 each, payable as follows: On application and allotment Rs.50; On first call Rs.25; On second and final call Rs.25. Members holding 400 shares did not pay the second call and the shares were duly forfeited, 300 of which are reissued as fully paid at Rs. 80 per share. Amount transferred to Capital reserve will be:

Detailed Solution: Question 26

Option A is correct.

Amount paid on each forfeited share before forfeiture = Rs. 50 + Rs. 25 = Rs. 75.

Total credited to Share Forfeiture on forfeiture of 400 shares = 400 × 75 = Rs. 30,000.

On reissue of 300 shares at Rs. 80 each, cash received = 300 × 80 = Rs. 24,000.

Share capital to be credited for these 300 shares = 300 × 100 = Rs. 30,000.

Shortfall to be adjusted from Share Forfeiture = Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 6,000.

Balance remaining in Share Forfeiture after meeting the reissue shortfall = Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 6,000 = Rs. 24,000.

This remaining balance is transferred to Capital Reserve. Therefore the amount transferred to Capital Reserve = Rs. 24,000 (Option A).

Test: Issue, Forfeiture And Reissue Of Shares - 2 - Question 28

Share premium is utilised for this purpose :

Detailed Solution: Question 28

Correct option: B

The securities premium account (share premium) is a capital reserve and may be used only for specific capital purposes; it is not a revenue reserve for meeting ordinary business losses or paying dividends.

  • To issue fully paid up bonus shares.
  • To write off preliminary expenses.
  • To write off discount on issue of shares or debentures.
  • To provide for premium payable on redemption of preference shares or debentures.
  • To buy back the company's own shares.

Only the specific capital items listed above may be met from the securities premium. General trading losses, payment of dividends or creation of goodwill are not permitted uses of the securities premium account.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
