Solid Ltd. issued 2,000, 10% preference shares of ₹100 each at par, which are redeemable at a premium of 10%. For the purpose of redemption, the company issued 1,500 equity shares of ₹100 each at a premium of 20% per share. At the time of redemption of preference shares, the amount to be transferred by the company to the Capital Redemption Reserve Account will be —
(A) ₹50,000
(B) ₹40,000
(C) ₹2,00,000
(D) ₹2,20,000.

Answer & Explanation:

Correct Answer: Option (A)

Correct answer: (A) ₹50,000. Nominal preference capital 2,00,000 minus fresh nominal equity capital 1,50,000 = 50,000; securities premium does not reduce the CRR requirement.
