Question 48.
Total assets of X Ltd. are ₹ 23,00,000 and total liabilities are ₹ 12,00,000. Expert valued goodwill of the company at ₹ 6,50,000. The company has two types of equity shares:
25.000 shares of ₹ 10 each fully paid-up

Intrinsic value per share of ₹ 3 paid- up is:
(A) ₹ 22 per share
(B) ₹ 8 per share
(C) ₹ 6 per share
(D) ₹ 4 per share
Hint:

Capital employed (23,00,000 – 12,00,000)	11,00,000
(+) Goodwill	6,50,000
(+) Notional call (25,000 × 2)	50,000
Net assets available to equity shareholder	18,00,000

Note: In case of ₹ 5 but ₹ 2 paid-up shares notional call ₹ 2 has been considered while calculating “Net Assets” hence shares are fully paid-up i.e. ₹ 5. However, the face of these shares is half of the face values of other shares; hence 50% shares in terms of ₹ 10 paid-up shares will have to be taken.
Net assets
Intrinsic value per share =
₹ 10 fullv paid-up = = 48
₹ 5 fully paid-up = 48 × 5/10 = 24
₹ 5 but ₹ 3 paid-up = 24 – 2 = 22
Answer:
(A) ₹ 22 per share

(C) ₹ 18 per share
(D) ₹ 17.5 per share
Hint:
As there are different types of shares ₹ 10, ₹ 8 & ₹ 5, we have to convert it into ₹ 10 shares as follows:

Note: In the case of ₹ 10 but ₹ 8 paid-up shares, 80% has been taken as notional call ₹ 2 has not been considered hence shares are partly paid-up.

Answer:
(B) ₹ 11.25 per share

Question 50.
The capital Structure of SZ Ltd. is as follows:

Types of capital	₹
2,500 Equity shares (₹ 10) fully paid-up	25,000
2,500 Equity shares of (₹ 10) paid-up	₹ 8 20,000
2,500 Equity shares of (₹ 10) paid-up	₹ 6 15,000
12% Debentures paid-up	5,000
100, 9% Preference shares (₹ 100)	10,000
Expected profit per year before interest & tax:	₹ 30,600

Rate of tax: 40%
Transfer to reserve: 10% of profit
The normal rate of dividend: 15%
What is value per share as per yield method for
(a) ₹ 10 fully paid-up shares
(b) ₹ 8 paid-up shares
(c) ₹ 6 paid-up shares?

Hint:

Expected rate of dividend = \(\frac{\text { Profit available to equity shareholder }}{\text { Equity share capital }}\) × 100
= \(\frac{15,300}{60,000}\) × 100 = 25.5%
Yield value per share = \(\frac{\text { Expected rate }}{\text { Normal rate }}\) × Paid-up value per share
₹ 10 paid-up share = \(\frac{25.5}{15}\) × 10 = 17
₹ 8 paid-up share = \(\frac{25.5}{15}\) × 8 = 13.6
₹ 6 paid-up share = \(\frac{25.5}{15}\) × 6 = 10.2

(C)
