I understand that when we have a right to issue shares, it means that asset will increase. So, how about the investment? Is issued share effective to the amount of investment?
March 11, 2015 at 7:35 pm #232065What you mean by saying that ‘the asset will increase’? Which asset?
If you are talking about a rights issue of shares, then this is an issue of new shares to existing shareholders. When the shares are issued, the entry is to debit cash and credit share capital.
I do suggest that you watch the free lecture on company accounts.
March 12, 2015 at 2:54 pm #232149Yes, i mean like what you say is that when the share are issued, the entry is to debit cash and credit capital.
Anyway, thanks for your help.March 12, 2015 at 3:10 pm #232158I think I understand what you were asking now.
The entry is to Dr cash with the proceeds; Cr Share capital with the nominal value of the shares; and Cr Share premium with any extra over the nominal value.
