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

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