Accounting Treatment for Shares Issue, Calls, Forfeiture

Accounting Treatment of issue of shares on premium and discount
Some time a company can decide to issue of shares on premium or on discount. In both situations we must know the basic concept before doing any accounting treatment.
Issue of shares on premium
Issue of shares on premium means that if company wants to get more money of each share. Then the company can demand premium with the face value or nominal value of shares. This is called issue of shares on premium. Suppose if the face value of shares is RS.100 Company can issue of his 10000 @ Rs. 105 it means company is also demanding RS. 5 per share as premium. According to new amendments in Company law 1956, Company must open security premium account, if co. issue shares on premium. All money which got with name of premium will transfer to security premium account . The following entry will passed in the books of company

1.For the due of share Allotment money
  • Shares Allotment Account Debit xxxx ( with the total amount )
  • Shares Capital Account Credit xxxx ( With the face value of shares)
  • Security Premium Account Credit xxxx( With the amount of premium)

2. For Allotment money Received
  • Bank Account Debit xxxx ( face value + Premium )
  • To Share Allotment Account xxxx
If company has demanded the premium with his call money from share holders , then on the place share allotment account we must write share call account , all other journal entry will be same.
According to Section 78 , We will use this fund according to guidelines of law.

Meaning of Issue of shares at discount :-
It means that company demands less amount than face value of shares .This less amount is called discount on issue of shares .
Journal entry of discount on issue of shares
When we receive allotment by giving discount on issue of share
1 Amount due of allotment
Share Allotment Account Debit xxxx( face value of allotment – discount)
Discount on issue of share account Debit xxxx( amount of discount)
To Share capital account
2. When allotment money actually received
Bank account debit xxx( face value of allotment –discount)
To share allotment account


Accounting treatment of issue of share for purchasing an fixed asset

In the situation when company want to buy any fixed asset , then company can issue shares to supplier of fixed asset .
At this time company pass the following journal entries :-

For purchasing fixed on credit
Fixed asset account debit xxx
Creditor account credit xxx
For issue of shares
Creditor account Debit xxx
Share Capital Account credit xxx
In case if company issue in premium or on discount to the suppliers of fixed asset . Then we first calculate the number of shares for doing any accounting treatment for this

In case of issue at premium


Numbers of shares
Value of Fixed asset= -----------------------Value of per share (Face value + premium)

In case if issue of shares at discount

Numbers of shares

Value of Fixed asset= ------------------------Value of per share (Face value – Discount per share)
After this the following journal entry will pass
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 90000 by issue of shares at discount of shares of 10% if face value of share is RS.10
Journal entries
Machinery account debit 90000
Creditor account credit 90000
2 for issue shares to creditors at discount
No. of shares =90000/9 = 10000
Amount of discount =RS.10000

Creditor account Debit 90000
Discount on issue of share account debit 10000
Share capital account credit 100000
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 120000 by issue of shares at Premium of shares of 20% if face value of share is RS.10
Journal entries
Machinery account debit 120000
Creditor account credit 120000
2 for issue shares to creditors at discount
No. of shares =120000/12 = 10000
Amount of Premium =RS.20000

Creditor account Debit 120000
Share capital account credit 100000
Security premium account credit 20000


Adjustment in company’s balance sheet for call in arrear
When a company makes the balance sheet after first time issue of shares. There may be the case of call in arrear.
In my earlier article, I have already explained call in arrear and call in advance. In this article, I want to explain, how you will do the adjustment in balance sheet for call in arrear. Call in arrear must be deduct from Called up capital
Called up Capital = Capital demanded at the time of Application + Allotment + and calls money
Less call in arrear = at the time of allotment and due date of call money
After deducting, it we can easily calculate paid up capital



Accounting Treatment of Call in arrear and call in advance
Call in Arrear
Call in arrear means company has demanded his due amount of allotment or call money but .But if shareholder does not pay his allotment money on due date it deems as call in arrear , this is the asset of company and it must deduct from call up capital for calculation paid up capital. If there is no any rule the company has right to get 5% interest on call in arrear.
Journal Entries for call in arrear in the books of company
1st journal entry will write at the time of due but not received the allotment money from share holder
Call in Arrear Account Debit xxxx
To Share Allotment Account xxxx
2nd When call in Arrear received from shareholder

3rd journal entry is related to company’s interest received on due amount of call in arrear. This is the income of company:-

Bank Account Debit xxxx
To Interest on Call in Arrear xxxx

Call in Advance
Call in advance means that company did not call the allotment or calls but shareholder gives the call money in advance form .So this is the liability of company . Company is liable to pay 6% interest on call in advance to shareholder
Journal Entry for call in Advance
1st journal entry will pass for adjustment of advance money of allotment received at the time of application

Definition of share forfeitures
Share forfeitures means cancel the power of share holder if he does not pay his call money when company demands for this .Company will give 14 days notice, after 14 days if shareholder did not pay then company will forfeit his shares and cut off his name from the register of shareholder. Company will not pay his received fund from shareholder.
Deep accounting treatment is divided in following parts

1st situation
Simple accounting treatment
In this situation shares issue at part and there is no pro-rata situation. So the following entry will pass

Share capital Account Debit (called up amount of forfeited shares
Share forfeited Account Credit (Amount received of forfeited shares)
Share call in arrear Account Credit (Amount did not receive of forfeited shares)

2nd Situation
When shares issue on discount and premium
Dear friend if shares are issue on premium or on discount, then if we did not receive the premium, then we write in journal entry otherwise we will not show security premium account in share forfeiture journal entry

Share capital Account Debit (called up amount of forfeited shares)
Security premium account Debit (If premium is not received from share holder)

Share forfeited Account Credit (Amount received of forfeited shares)
Share Allotment Account Credit (If allotment money is not received)

3rd situation
When shares issue pro-rata base
In case there is also difficulty to calculate the net amount of allotment received in case some amount is not received and same person we have adjust some amount of share application.
Calculate the net amount of allotment received
Total amount of allotment money due xxxxxx
Less Adjustment with application
Money xxxxxx
_________________

Share Allotment Account Credit (Net amount not received in the form of allotment, for calculation of this amount you must understand and use above formula)
Share Call in Arrear Credit (if you are not received any call money of share forfeited)

4th situation
When shares fully reissue
Reissue means sale to any other person after forfeiting from previous share holder.
In this situation we can reissue of share in discount or premium. For doing this we have to pass the following journal entry
Bank Account Debit
Discount on issue of shares Debit
Share forfeiture account Debit (Discount on reissue of shares)
Share capital account Credit (Face value of reissue of shares)
Security premium Account Credit (If shares reissue at premium

So difference between amount received from forfeiture and discount on reissue share will go to capital reserve account and following entry will passed

Share forfeited account Debit
Capital reserve account credit
This capital reserve account will show in liability side of balance sheet of company.

5th situation
When Shares partly reissue
It is most difficult situation when you will see the question paper and you found the sum where is pro-rata situation , then share holder did not pay and then these forfeited shares party reissue to another share holder because
Above 4 situations will cover but in the 4th situation’s last journal entry will pass after making forfeiture account in working note because only the amount go to capital reserve which is sold or reissue gain other will go to balance of share forfeiture account upto that date until we reissue all shares.
Share forfeiture Account
Credit Side of this account
By share capital Account 2000
Suppose we get 100 shares forfeiture money received
Rs,20 per share
_________
2000
________ _
Debit Side of this account
To share capital account 250
Suppose we have reissue of 50 shares at reissue discount Rs.5

To capital Reserve account
We will calculate this amount after deducting the proportion of of this gain according to sold shares
2000 x 50/100 – 250 = 750
To balance C/d 1000
_____________________________
2000

Then following journal entry will pass

  1. Awesome! This post has all information I was looking for. Can you also tell me about Balance Advantage funds? There is another similar term like this but have no idea about their differences. My sister is planning to take exam for financial advisor and I like to bug her at times with such questions.
