Vivi, the allowable use of the Share Premium Account that relates to bonus shares states that ‘the Share Premium may be used to finance the issue of FULLY PAID bonus shares to existing members’
The issuance of PARTLY PAID bonus shares would go against the law which determines that a company cannot impose on its members any additional liability than the members have voluntarily taken upon themselves, If partly paid shares were issuable to those members, then the members would find that, suddenly, they now owe to the company the amount un-credited on these new shares. In question 4, that would involve the members having an increased liability to the company of 5c for every share that they received by way of partly paid bonus
