    Sir:
    Question #2
    At 31 December 2004 a company’s capital structure was as follows:

    Ordinary share capital. 125,000
    500,000 shares of .25c each
    Share premium account. 100,000

    In the year ended 31 December 2005 the company made a rights issue of 1 share for every 2 held at $1 per share and this was taken up in full. Later in the year the company made. Bonus issue if 1 share for every 5 held, USING THE SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT FOR THE PURPOSE.

    What was the capital structure at December 31, 2005.

    My calculations:

    # shares. Share capital. Share premium
    500,000. 125,000. 100,000
    250,000. X .25. 62,500. 187,500. (250,000 @.75)
    Where do I go from here. And, given the answer, I must have done something wrong.

    Thanks

    Also question 5:
    At JUNE 30 2005 the capital reserves of smith were:

    Ordinary shares of $1 each. 100
    Share premium 80
    During the year. Ended June 30, 2006
    1 September 2005. A bonus issue of one ordinary share for every two
    held USING THE SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT.
    1 January 2006. A fully subscribed rights issue of two ordinary shares
    For every five held at that date at $1.50 per share.

    What would be the balance on each account be at 30 June 2006?

    My workings:

    # shares. Share capital. Share premium

    100. 100. 80
    50. ? ?
    60. 60. 30

    Thanks

    Carol Share Premium will be 80-50+75=105
    And Share Capital=100+50+150=300.
