Find the amount which will be credited to securities premium account?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Amount settled by shares =36,00,000−6,00,000=30,00,000= 36,00,000 - 6,00,000 = 30,00,000.

Issue price per share =100+25=125= 100 + 25 = 125.

Number of shares =30,00,000125=24,000= \frac{30,00,000}{125} = 24,000.

Securities Premium =24,000×25=6,00,000= 24,000 \times 25 = 6,00,000.

Alternatively, premium is 25125\frac{25}{125} of 30,00,000=6,00,00030,00,000 = 6,00,000.
