Explanation / Answer

a . 1) current no. of equity shares = $ 45000 / $0.60

=75000 shares

new shares outstanding = 75000(1.10) = 82500 shares

New shares issued = 7500 shares

a. 2)

WN :

common stock :- 82500 shares *$0.60 par value = $ 49500

capital surplus:- current capital surplus + new shares issued *(sale value - par value)

= 340000 + 7500 *(30 - 0.60)

=340000 +220500

=$560500

retained earning :- current reatined earning - increase in capital surplus - increase in common stock

= 748120 - 220500 - 4500

=$ 523120

b. 1) current no. of equity shares = $ 45000 / $0.60

=75000 shares

new shares outstanding = 75000(1.20) =90000 shares

New shares issued = 90000 - 75000

=15000 shares

b.2)

WN:

common stock = 90000 shares * 0.60 par value

= $ 54000

capital surplus = 340000 + 15000 new shares * (30 sale value - 0.60 par value )

=340000 + 441000

=$781000

retained earning = current reatined earning - increase in capital surplus - increase in common stock

=748120 - 441000 - 9000

=$298120

common stock 49500 capital surplus 560500 retained earning 523120 total owner's equity $1133120
