Vijeta Limited took over assets worth Rs. 10,00,000 and liabilities of Rs. 3,00,000 from Gupta Ltd. for a purchase consideration of Rs. 12,00,000. Vijeta Ltd. has given a bill of Rs. 2,00,000 and agreed to settle the remaining purchase consideration by issuing shares at a premium of 25% on face value of Rs. 100 per share. How much amount will be credited to the securities premium reserve account in this case?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Rs. 2,00,000
When shares are issued to a vendor at a premium, the Securities Premium Reserve is credited with the premium on the shares actually issued.
Purchase consideration = Rs. 12,00,000
Paid by bill = Rs. 2,00,000
Paid in shares = Rs. 12,00,000 − Rs. 2,00,000 = Rs. 10,00,000
Issue price = Rs. 100 + 25% = Rs. 125
Shares issued = Rs. 10,00,000 ÷ Rs. 125 = 8,000
Securities premium = 8,000 × Rs. 25 = Rs. 2,00,000
