Solution

Dear Student,

This question is taken from corporate accounting and you should know basics of pref. share, right share, procedure of issue of shares, pro rata basis of allotment and adjustment of excess application money before solving above questions. I think, you will study its reference in http://www.svtuition.org/  before solving above question. Now, I come to your question and am writing solution of it.

(A) General Journal Entries to record the above data for Tumut Ltd.

1. 1 July - No journal entry because no transaction happened on 1 July 2009

2. 31st July -

Bank Account Debit $ 66500


Prof. Share Application Account Credit $ 66500

(For share application money received = 95000 X 70 Cents = $66500)

3. 1 Aug. 2009

Actual received applications for pref. shares = 95000, it means that people want to purchase 95000 shares but company have only 6000 shares, so company’s directed decided to reject 5000 and rest adjusted with allotment money.

Table for application money adjustment
