Accounting for Shares

Question:

Jindal and Company purchased a machine from High Life Machine Limited for ₹3,80,000. As per purchase agreement, ₹20,000 were paid in cash and balance by issue of shares of ₹100 each. Find the number of shares issued, if they are issued at par-

Options:

3,000 Shares

3,500 Shares

3,600 Shares

3,200 Shares

Correct Answer:

3,600 Shares

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 3,600.

Machinery value = 3,80,000
Paid in cash = 20,000

Remaining balance = 3,80,000 - 20,000
                            = 3,60,000

Face value of share = 100 so Issue price is 100 

No of shares issued = Purchase consideration/Issue price
                             = 3,60,000/100
                             = 3,600
