Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions given below on the basis of the information. Nidiya limited was incorporated on 1st April, 2017 with registered office in Mumbai. The capital clause of Memorandum of Association reflected a registered capital of 8,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each and 1,00,000 preference shares of ₹50 each. |
What is the amount of security premium reflected in the balance sheet at the end of the year? |
₹200 ₹600 ₹400 ₹ 1,000 |
₹400 |
The correct answer is option 3- ₹400. Journal Entry on Forfeiture of 300 shares of Ajay will be: *Final call of ₹2 per share has not been made, means only ₹8 have been called up by the company. Therefore, when shares are reissued after forfeiture, any amount received on reissue that is in excess of the amount previously called-up is credited to the "securities premium reserve account". So, here ₹4 (12-8) per share will be securities premium reserve. |
