Hi Sir!
My question regarding the book value of right issue. How should we record the book value of right issue?
Example:
Current Company have 1000 shares (1$ per share) => book value is 1000$
market value of shares is 5$ per share => market value 5000$
Company issue 1 for 5 right issue with 20% discount to current share price.
Meaning we issue 200 shares more with 4$ each => raise 800$ finance.
How should we record this 800$ in our book?
I noticed most of exercise in revision kit, they record 800$ directly as book value, so meaning is equal to 800 shares with nominal value 1$ per share? or 200 shares with 4$ per shares?
Thanks for your explain in advance!
This is Paper FA (was Paper F3).
In your example the new shares have a nominal value of $1 each and therefore share capital increases by $200 and share premium increases by $600.
Oh ya! i forgot we book the variance in Share premium and we calculate the book value of equity is including in Share Premium.
Thank you Sir for your helpful explanation.
You are welcome 🙂
