Q1.On April 01, 2019, a limited company was incorporated with an authorised capital of Rs. 40,000 divided into shares of Rs. 10 each. It offered to the public for subscription of 3,000 shares payable as follows:

How will you record the share capital transactions in the books of a company if the amounts due have been duly received, and the company maintains the combined account for application and allotment.

Using the combined Share Application and Allotment Account, the entries are:

Books of the company

1. Receipt of application and allotment money

  • 3,000 shares × Rs. 3 = Rs. 9,000
  • 3,000 shares × Rs. 2 = Rs. 6,000

Journal entry

  • Bank A/c Dr. Rs. 15,000
  • To Share Application and Allotment A/c Rs. 15,000

2. Transfer of application money to share capital

  • 3,000 shares × Rs. 3 = Rs. 9,000
  • Share Application and Allotment A/c Dr. Rs. 9,000
  • To Share Capital A/c Rs. 9,000

3. Amount due on allotment

  • 3,000 shares × Rs. 2 = Rs. 6,000
  • Share Allotment A/c Dr. Rs. 6,000
  • To Share Capital A/c Rs. 6,000

4. Receipt of allotment amount

  • Bank A/c Dr. Rs. 6,000
  • To Share Application and Allotment A/c Rs. 6,000

Since all amounts due have been received, there is no balance in calls in arrears or calls in advance. The combined account closes after transferring the application money and recording allotment.

Share capital in Balance Sheet

  • Authorised Capital = Rs. 40,000
  • Issued / Subscribed / Paid-up Capital = 3,000 shares × Rs. 10 = Rs. 30,000

So the share capital shown in the balance sheet is Rs. 30,000.

Q2.Harsha Ltd., was registered with authorised capital of Rs. 25,00,000 divided into 2,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each. Promoters of the company had undertaken to subscribe 25,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each once the company was incorporated. The amount was paid by the subscribers and received by the company.

The company later issued at par 2,00,000 shares to public for subscription. It received applications for 1,80,000 Equity Shares both through ASBA and physical mode. Shares were allotted to all the applicants.

Determine the Authorised Share Capital, Issued Share Capital and Subscribed Share Capital of the Harsha Ltd.

From the chapter:

  • Authorised share capital is the capital the company is authorised to issue.
  • Issued share capital is the part of authorised capital actually issued to the public, including shares allotted to vendors and signatories.
  • Subscribed capital is the part of issued capital actually subscribed by the public.

Given

  • Authorised capital = Rs. 25,00,000 divided into 2,50,000 shares of Rs.10 each.
  • Shares issued to public = 2,00,000 shares.
  • Applications received and shares allotted = 1,80,000 shares.
  • Promoters subscribed = 25,000 shares.

Calculation

Authorised Share Capital

  • 2,50,000 × Rs.10 = Rs. 25,00,000

Issued Share Capital

  • Public issue: 2,00,000 shares
  • Promoters: 25,000 shares
  • Total issued = 2,25,000 shares
  • 2,25,000 × Rs.10 = Rs. 22,50,000

Subscribed Share Capital

  • Public subscribed = 1,80,000 shares
  • Promoters subscribed = 25,000 shares
  • Total subscribed = 2,05,000 shares
  • 2,05,000 × Rs.10 = Rs. 20,50,000

So the figures are:

  • Authorised Share Capital = Rs. 25,00,000
  • Issued Share Capital = Rs. 22,50,000
  • Subscribed Share Capital = Rs. 20,50,000

Q1.A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. They admit C for 1/4 share in the future profits. The new profit sharing ratio will be:
(a) A 9/16, B 3/16, C 4/16
(b) A 8/16, B 4/16, C 4/16
(c) A 10/16, B 2/16, C 4/16
(d) A 8/16, B 9/16, C 10/16

Correct Answer: (a) A 916\frac{9}{16}, B 316\frac{3}{16}, C 416\frac{4}{16}

Given:

  • Old ratio of A : B = 3 : 1
  • C's share = 1/4

Working:

Remaining share for A and B = 1−14=341 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}

A's new share = 34×34=916\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16}

B's new share = 14×34=316\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{16}

C's share = 14=416\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{16}

New profit sharing ratio = A : B : C = 916:316:416\frac{9}{16} : \frac{3}{16} : \frac{4}{16} = 9 : 3 : 4

This matches option (a).

Q1.Dissolution of a partnership is different from dissolution of a firm.

TRUE. Dissolution of partnership means a change in the existing relationship among partners (e.g., due to admission, retirement, death), but the firm continues its business. Dissolution of a firm, on the other hand, means complete closure of the firm's business, realisation of all assets and settlement of all liabilities. Thus, the two are distinct concepts.

Q1.State which of the following statements are True or False.
(a) The only purpose of financial reporting is to keep the managers informed about the progress of operations.
(b) Analysis of data provided in the financial statements is termed as financial analysis.
(c) Long-term borrowings are concerned about the ability of a firm to discharge its obligations to pay interest and repay the principal amount.
(d) A ratio is always expressed as a quotient of one number divided by another.
(e) Ratios help in comparisons of a firm's results over a number of accounting periods as well as with other business enterprises.
(f) A ratio reflects quantitative and qualitative aspects of results.

(a) False – Financial reporting serves multiple purposes: it informs managers, investors, creditors, government, and other stakeholders about the financial position and performance of the firm, not just managers.

(b) True – The process of examining and interpreting the data contained in financial statements is called financial analysis.

(c) True – Long-term lenders (providers of long-term borrowings) are primarily concerned with the firm's ability to meet interest obligations periodically and repay the principal at maturity.

(d) False – A ratio can be expressed as a quotient, a percentage, a rate (e.g., times), or a proportion. It is not always expressed only as a quotient.

(e) True – Ratio analysis facilitates both time-series comparison (over different periods for the same firm) and cross-sectional comparison (with other firms in the same industry).

(f) False – Ratios are computed from accounting figures and therefore reflect only quantitative aspects. They do not capture qualitative aspects such as management quality, employee morale, or brand value.
