    Hi There,
    what would the double entry be for the following:

    Company A (the shareholder) holds 100 ordinary class A shares in Company B.
    Company B issued 900 bonus ordinary class A shares for no consideration to Company A.

    Company A now has 1,000 ordinary class A shares.

    In Company A, would you DR the investment 900 and CR capital account 900? or would you CR the Shareholder Loan or retained earnings?
    I cannot find anything on how to record the bonus issued shares from the shareholders view.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Assume that Company paid 1,000 for 100 shares – so they have an investment with a CA of 1,000.

    If they pay nothing for the BI then there will be no further double entry

    A bit surprised that you asked as I’ve not seen this in any SBR learning materials

    NEITHER OT OR STEPHEN WIDBERG ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN THESE REPLIES
