How can shares be issued when they are issued for consideration other than cash?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
There are instances where a company enters into an arrangement with the
vendors from whom it has purchased assets, whereby the latter agrees to accept,
the payment in the form of fully paid shares of the company issued to them.
Normally, no such cash is received for issue of shares. These shares can also be
issued either at par, at premium and the number of shares to be
issued will depend upon the price at which the shares are issued and the amount
payable to the vendor.
