hey sir, I have one more doubt
question: At 1 October 20X6, Ozber Co’s capital structure was as follows:
$
Equity shares, $0.25 100,000
Share premium 30,000
On 10 January 20X7, in order to raise finance for expansion, Ozber Co made a 1 for 4 rights
issue at $1.15. The issue was fully taken up. This was followed by a 1?for?10 bonus issue on
1 June 20X7.
What was the balance on the share premium account after these transactions?
A $17,500
B $21,250
C $107,500
D $120,000
I have doubt that how did we get to know the share premium amount for bonus issue shares. just tell the explanation part

5y ago#1The rights issue shares and the bonus issue shares always have the same nominal value as the existing shares, so in this case it is $0.25.
Given that the rights issue was at $1.15, the premium is $0.90 per share.
As far as the bonus issue is concerned, the nominal value of $0.25 per share is subtracted from the share premium account.
This is all explained in my free lectures on limited companies. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
thank you sir, I will go through all lectures once again
