Applications for N1,370,000 were received at 30k per share. 70k per share (including premium) was due om allotment while 25k per share was due on each of the remaining two calls. All amounts due were received . Application money for 120,000 shares was refunded to unsuccessful applicants were allotment shares on pro-rata basis.
The share premium account would be?
Credited with application and allotment N187,500
Debited with appllication and allotment N375,000
Credited with application and allotment N375,000
Debited with application and allotment N187, 500
Correct answer is C
Premium shares = Issue price per share – Face value/par value per share x No of shares.
Issue price = N1.50
Face value = N1
No. of shares = 750,000
1.50 - 1 = 0.50
0.50 x 750,000 = 375,000
