Answer:
Investment Accounts - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 22
Cost of Debenture purchased on 1st July
= ₹ 1,12,000 – 2,000 (Interest)
= ₹ 1,10,000

Cost of Debentures sold on 1st Oct.
= (₹ 2,16000+₹ 1,10,000) x 80,000/3,00,000
= ₹ 86,933

Loss on sale of Debentures
=₹ 86,933 – ₹ 84,000
= ₹ 2,933
Nominal value of debentures converted into equity shares = ₹ 55,000.
[(₹ 3,00,000 – 80,000) × 0.251]
Interest received before the conversion of debentures
Interest on 25% of total debentures 55,000 × 8% × 2/12 = ₹ 733

Cost of Debentures converted
= (₹ 2,16,000 + ₹ 1,10,000) × 55,000/3,00000
= ₹ 59,767

Cost of closing balance of Debentures
= (₹ 2,16,000 + ₹ 1,10,000) × 1,65,000/3,00,000
= ₹ 1,79,300

Closing balance of Debentures has been valued at cost being lower then ‘he market value i.e.₹ 1,81,500 (₹ 1,65,000 @ ₹ 110) 5,000 equity Shares in C Ltd. will be valued at cost of ₹ 59.767 being lower than the market value ₹ 75,000 (₹ 15 × 5,000)

Answer:
Investment Accounts - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 24
Working Notes:
1. DivIdend Received on shares acquired on 1-9-16.
= 1,000 shares × 10 × 20% = 2,000

2. Profit on sale of shares:
Sale proceeds – Average Cost ,
Sale Proceeds = 4,000 shares × ₹ 14 = 56,000
Average Cost = \( \left(\frac{60,000+14,000+12,500-2,000}{8,000}\right)\) × 4,000
=1,05,625 × 4,000
= 42,250
Profit = 56,000- 42,250 = 13,750
Here, cost price of share is less than the market value of ₹ 13 per share. Thus, it should be valued at cost.

1. Calculation of Weighted average cost of equity shares
600 shares purchased at ₹ 12,000
900 shares purchased at ₹ 22,500
1.000 shares purchased at ₹ 23,000
2,500 shares at nil cost
600 right shares purchased at ₹ 12,000
Total cost of 5,600 shares is ₹ 66,500 [₹ 69,500 less ₹ 3,000 (pre-acquisition dividend received on 1,000 shares purchased on 20.5.17) Hence, weighted average cost per share will be considered as ₹ 11.875 per share (66,500/5,600).

2. It has been considered that no dividend was received on bonus shares as the dividend pertains to the year ended 31st March 2016.

3. Calculation of right shares subscribed by Vijay Right Shares (considering that right shares have been granted on Bonus Shares also) = 5,000/5 × 11,000 shares
Shares subscribed = 1,000 × 60%= 600 sharps
Value of right shares subscribed = 600 shares @ ₹ 20 per share = ₹ 12,000
Calculation of sale of right renouncement
No. of right shares sold = 1,000 × 40% = 400 shares
Sale value of right = 400 shares × ₹ 3 per share = ₹ 1,200
Note: As per para 13 of AS 13, sale Prepare of rights is to be credited to P & L A/c.
