The ledger accounts show the following balances Profit and loss account Rs.40,000 and securities premium account Rs.8,000.

preference shares can be redeemded only out of profits or by proceeds of fresh issue..but if redemption is on premium then such premium amt should be paid out of securities premium or profit available..

In ur qs the nominal value of share is rs.200000 & premium is Rs.2000..p&l is 40000 & sec prem is 8000.

so 1st of all premium on redemption should be paid out of sec prem available amounted to Rs.8000.

now there is no bal in sec prem, so premium on red should be paid out of profits available..i.e Rs.12,000 from profits.

The bal in P&L a/c is now Rs.28,000 (40000-12000)..which should be used to redeem the share nominal value...

now the bal redemtn amt will be Rs.172000 (200000-28000) which will be paid out of proceeds of fresh issue of equity shares..

Correct me if i am wrong..
