    Hi, John.

    A company made an issue for cash of 1,000,000 50c shares at a premium of 30c per share. Which one of the following journal entries correctly records the issue?

    The answer is,
    B.
    Debit
    Credit
    $
    $
    Bank
    800,000
    Share capital
    500,000
    Share premium
    300,000

    But my answer is that Dr. bank $1,600,000, Cr Share capital $1,000,000 Share Premium $ 600,000(=30c * 20,000 shares)

    I got number of shares = 1,000,000/50c = 20,000 shares.

    Which part did I understand wrong?

    The question says that they issued 1,000,000 shares.

    (If they had issued shares with a total nominal value of $1,000,000, then they would have issued 2,000,000 shares of 50c, but that is not what the question says 🙂 )
