At the start of year 3, 12000 new ordinary shares were issued at a premium of $1.5 per share in order to help raise further funds. given that ordinary shares have a nominal value of $1 for each share.
For this statement, does it means that I only need to put a credit entry of $18000 into share premium account or I also need to increase the ordinary share capital account by $12000? Then the total increase in cash account would be $30000?
The journal entry for the above will be | ||
Account Titles | Debit | Credit |
Cash (12000 shares* $ 1.5) | 18000 | |
Ordinary Share capital or Common stock(12000*$ 1) | 12000 | |
Share premium or APIC-Common stock (12000 shares* $ 0.5) | 6000 | |
Cash of only 12000*1.5= $ 18000 is received | ||
Each share is sold at a premium of $ 1.5-$1= $ 0.5 | ||
So, cash is debited for $ 18000 | ||
Share premium is credited for $ 6000 & | ||
Share capital is credited for the nominal value of $ 12000 | ||
Premium received is varioulsy called--Paid-in-capital in excess of par or Additional paid-in capital --- & maintained in a separate account---- even though the total of the nominal account +this premium is the total amount received from the shareholders--- & both appear one after the other , in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. |
