Pious Limited purchases a machine worth ₹1,15,000 from Indigo Traders. Payment was made as ₹10,000 by cheque and the remaining by issue of equity shares of the face value of ₹10 each fully paid-up at an issue price of ₹10.50 each. Amount of share premium would be —
(A) ₹6,000
(B) ₹5,000
(C) ₹7,000
(D) ₹4,000.

Answer & Explanation:

Correct Answer: Option (B)

Correct answer: (B) ₹5,000. Shares issued = (1,15,000−10,000)/10.50 = 10,000; premium = 10,000×0.50 = 5,000.
