1. To Cancel 7% PSC --> 7% PSC debited by Rs. 6,00,000
2. As mentioned in Question, you need to issue 4 new PS + 6 new ES for each PS.
3. No. of 5% PS to be issued : 12,000 * 4 = 48,000
4. No. of ES to be issued : 12,000 * 6 = 72,000
5. 5% PSC will be Rs. 4,80,000 (i.e 48,000 * 10) and ESC will be Rs. 1,80,000 (i.e. 72,000 * 2.5)
6. Total 7% PSC Cancelled is Rs. 6,00,000 and issued amount is Rs. 6,60,000 (i.e. 4,80,000 + 1,80,000), so extra amount will be debited to Capital Reconstruction A/c (i.e. 60,000).
Hence, Jounal Entry will be:
7% PSC Dr. 6,00,000
Capital Reduction a/c Dr. 60,000
To 5% PSC 4,80,000
To ESC 1,80,000
