    Question:
    Statements of financial position as at 30 September:
    20X2 20X1
    Equity $m $m
    Ordinary shares of $0.50 each: 750, 500
    Share premium: 350, 100
    Retained earnings 1,980, 1,740
    On 1 October 20X1, a bonus issue of one new share for every ten held was made, financed
    from share premium. This was followed by a further issue for cash.
    The statement of profit or loss of Nedburg Co shows a profit for the year of $480,000.
    Using the pull-down list available, what amount will appear under ‘cash flows from financing activities’ in the statement of cash flows of Nedburg Co for the year ended
    30 September 20X2 in respect of share issues?
    (Sorry for the bad formatting)

    Answer:
    The correct answer is: $160 million

    Issue of shares $m
    Share capital and premium b/f (500 + 100): 600
    Bonus issue (500/0.50 x 1/10): 100
    Cash received (B): 400
    Share capital and premium c/f (750 + 350): 1,100

    Dividends paid
    Retained earnings b/f 1,740
    Profit for the year 480
    Dividend paid (B) (240)
    Retained earnings c/f 1,980

    Cash inflow from financing activities (400 – 240) 160

    Why have they not reduced the balance of share premium by 100? if feel the balance of share premium should be reduced by 100 because the bonus issue was financed through share premium
    further more it can be completely ignored in this question because bonus share don’t effect cash flow

    I am convinced this is a miss print, just wanted to be 100% sure
    (the question is from BPP revision kit)

    Hi,

    When we have a bonus issue of shares then I’d use separate share capital and share premium accounts to work out the required figures, i.e. cash inflows from issue of shares.

    With the bonus issue the share capital will increase by 50,000 (100,000 shares issued at par of $0.50) and the share premium reduce by the same amount.

    The balancing figures from each of the share capital and share premium can then be added together to find the total cash received from issuing the shares.

    See how you get on.

    Thanks
