The Company decided to issued to equity shareholders bonus shares at the rate of 1 share for every shares held. Company decided that there should be the minimum reduction in free reserves. Pass necessary Journal Entries in the book Saral Ltd.   

 

This 4 marks question had appeared in May 14 IPCC exam and as regards capital reserve I used Rs.50000 and not Rs.40000 which should have been used.So is it possible that I may get marks if the moderatior thinks that Rs.40000 is not cash profit?Thanks in advance for helping

there are chances of getting marks if you have given the assumptiin regarding the same. otherwise examiner may cut marks as it is mentioned that free reserves shall be used to minimum.
