(e)

Answer to Question 2A.

(i) Issue of Shares at Premium:


When shares are issued at a price higher than the face value, they are said to be issued at a premium. Thus,
the excess of issue price over the face value is the amount of premium. For example-, if a share of 10 is
issued at Rs. 12, (12-10) = Rs. 2 is the premium.
The premium on issue of shares should be regarded as capital receipt., The Companies Act requires that
when a company issues shares at a premium whether for cash or otherwise, a sum equal to the aggregate
amount of the premium collected on shares must be credited to a separate account called "Securities Premium
Account."
Under Section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013 the Securities Premium Account may be used wholly or in part
for
(i) issuing fully paid bonus shares to the members;
(ii) writing off preliminary expenses of the company;
(iii) writing off the expenses of or the commission paid or discount allowed on any issue of shares or
debentures of the company; or
(iv) providing for the premium payable on the redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of
any debentures of the company;
(v) purchase of its own shares i.e. buy back of shares.

In the given problem, no separate market expectation rate is given for preference shares. Since
preference shares are fixed-dividend bearing shares, they have a slightly lesser capitalization rate say 13% in this
case. Further, Chelsi Ltd., has better preference dividend coverage of 8.83 (10,00,000/1,20,000) as
compared to Nensi Ltd., coverage of 4.17 (10,00,000/2,40,000). Accordingly, market expectation rate for
Nensi Ltd.,should be slightly more say by 0.50%. Thus market expectation rate for Chelsi Ltd. and Nensi Ltd. have
been taken as 13% and 13.5% respectively. (This rate is subjective).
