Credited by ₹200000

Debited by ₹200000

Debited by ₹400000

Correct Answer:

Credited by ₹200000

Explanation:

Total Equity Shares Issued = 100000
Face Value per Share = Rs 10
Premium per Share = 20% of Rs 10 = Rs 2
Total Premium Collected = Total Equity Shares * Premium per Share
                                       = 100000 * Rs 2
                                        = Rs 200000
The Security Premium Reserve Account is credited with the premium collected from issuing shares at a premium.
