Share Capital

JGJay Garrick6y ago
Juice and More Bhd has an issued and paid-up capital of RM90,000,000 comprising 45,000,000 ordinary shares fully paid. It embarked on a share buyback scheme. The shareholders at the recent AGM passed an ordinary resolution to purchase 1,000,000 ordinary shares for immediate cancellation at a price of RM3.00 each. Below is the statement of financial position of Juice and More Bhd before the shares were purchased. Non-current assets80,000,000 Net current assets30,000,000 = 110,000,000 Equity Issued share capital 45,000,000ordinary shares,fullypaid90,000,000 Retained profits 20,000,00 = 110,000,000 Required: Show the journal entries to effect the above transaction and prepare the statement of financial position after the purchase is completed. My question is,I dont understand what does this phrase tell me "The shareholders at the recent AGM passed an ordinary resolution to purchase 1,000,000 ordinary shares for immediate cancellation at a price of RM3.00 each." Do explain this to me?

Although I will explain, this is not relevant for Paper FA. (I do suggest that you use a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers - they are full of exam standard questions that are relevant for the exam syllabus.) The phrase means that the company will buy 1,000,000 shares and will then cancel them. They will pay the shareholders 3RM per shares. The share capital will therefore be reduced by the nominal/par value of the 1,000,000 shares, and the extra will be debited to the reserves.

I really do not know why you are attempting a question that cannot be in the exam, and why you are attempting a question for which you do not have answer!!! Cr Cash Dr Share capital Dr Reserves
