    yaqoobacca: Why on earth have you typed ‘wrong question’??

    yusra97:

    The company started with 50,000 shares; balance on share capital of 50,000 x $1 = $50,000; balance on share premium of 50,000 x $0.50 = $25,000.

    They have a 1 for 10 rights issue at $2.

    Therefore they issue 5,000 new shares for $2 each. Share capital increases by 5,000 x $1 = $5,000 to $55,000. Share premium increases by 5,000 x $1 = $5,000 to $30,000.

    I do suggest that you watch my free lectures – I explain how to deal with rights issues and bonus issues in detail, with examples.

    The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    I have other question which i am not able to solve.

    At 1 October 2003 the equity section of the company is as follows.
    Share capital $0.50 per share – 300,000
    Share premium – 200,000
    Retained Earnings -268
    During the year the following occurred
    1) Company paid dividends of 23000
    2) In february 2004 there was a bonus issue of shares from share premium account that was 1 for 5
    3).In july there was a new issue of 50,000 shares at a price of $1.75
    4) Profit for the year are 44,000
    Complete the following equity section of statement of financial position at 30 september 2004
    Share capital ($0.50 per share) – 300 + 60 + 25 how 60,000? and 25000? why are we finding out these values?
    share premium – 200-60+62.5 how? -60? what is this value? also 62.5?which value is this?

    It seems that you have not bothered to watch my free lectures despite what I wrote in my previous reply!! How can you expect to be able to answer questions if you do not study the topic first? 🙂

    The $60,000 is because they have had a bonus issue of 600,000/5 = 120,000 shares at $0.50 each. The $25,000 is because they have has a new issue of 50,000 shares with a nominal value of $0.50 each.

    Again the $60,000 is as I have just explained – since it was a bonus issue it is subtracted from the share premium account. The $62,500 is the premium on the new shares issued: 50,000 x $1.25 = $62,500.

    You must watch the free lectures – you cannot expect me to type them all out here 🙂

    no no i have watched your free lectures..but i am still struggling with these concepts. i donot get how 600,000 came? the rest i understood..is it because? share capital -300+share premium 200 + 100 comes from bonus issue? so total 600,000? right? then divide it by 600,000/ 5 =120,000

    They started the year with share capital of $300,000.

    Since the nominal value is $0.50 per share, there must have been 300,000/0.50 = 600,000 shares.
