Sir, the broad answers for your query are as under:

 

Gen. Reserve transferred to CRR - 50,000

15000 new shares of Rs.10 each issued at 20%

Amount due to Preference Shareholders - 2,20,000

Payment made to Preference Shareholders - 2,14,500

CRR transferred to Share Capital - 50,000

The question specifically states that they have issued only 14500 shares @ Rs.10 each @ premium of 20% - what is the accounting rule for the 500 shares, which is partly paid up and the whareabouts of the shareholder is not tracable.

 

Hi! Partly paid pref. shares cannot b redeemed. One option is 2 forfeit d shares or to hold them until they r fully paid up. 1st option looks appropriate as the where abt of that shareholder is not found. so forfeit his shares and redeem d rest.
  1. The shares shall be forfeited assuming all the necessary steps have been taken for the sake of it.

  1. Rs. 50,000 can be used from general reserve for the purpose of redemption of pref shares. So, 15,000 shares shall be issued for further requirement of funds not considering premium of 20% as it is to be considered in further issue of 14,500 shares.
