    To Share Capital A/c             ₹42,000
    To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000

Bank A/c                Dr.   ₹40,000
    To Share Capital A/c             ₹38,000
    To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000

Bank A/c                 Dr.     ₹44,000
Securities Premium A/c Dr.            ₹2,000
             To Share Capital A/c        ₹42,000

Bank A/c                   Dr.   ₹42,000
      To Share Capital A/c             ₹40,000
      To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000

Correct Answer:

Bank A/c                   Dr.   ₹42,000
      To Share Capital A/c             ₹40,000
      To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4-
Bank A/c Dr.               ₹42,000
    To Share Capital A/c               ₹40,000
    To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000

* Shares are reissued at ₹105 per shares means ₹5 is premium
Shares reissued = 400
Securities premium = 400 x 5
                               = ₹2,000

Total amount comes to business = 400 x 105
                                                   = ₹42,000
Amount goes to share capital = 400 x 100
                                               = ₹40,000

So, the following journal entry is passed for the reissue of shares-
Bank A/c                   Dr.   ₹42,000
      To Share Capital A/c             ₹40,000
      To Securities Premium A/c     ₹2,000
