    Additional notes
    Over the past years Surinam plc traded at a loss and no dividends have been paid to the shareholders during the period.
    The directors are now of the opinion that the goodwill is now valueless. The tangible fixed assets are overvalued by $1,293,750. Some stock which costs $86,250 now has no value. Included in debtors is an amount of $138,000 from a customer who has now become insolvent.
    The directors are confident that, as a result, of improved efficiency and the introduction of new products, the company can look forward to annual net profits of $431,250. They have proposed to the shareholders a capital reduction scheme whereby each shareholder will receive one ordinary share with a nominal value of $0.55 for every $1.00 share currently held. This will enable the debit balance on the profit and loss account to e eliminated and adjustments to be made to the company's assets to take account of the matters mentioned above.
    The creditors agreed to take a 10% write off the amount owing to them if the company agreed to pay them immediately, 20% of the balance owed to them after the write off the 10%. To do this the directors agreed to an immediately rights issue of 140000 of the new ordinary shares at par. The shares are issued on May 1 2010.
    The director's policy in future will be able to pay dividends which will be covered twice by earnings.
    The shareholders have agreed to the director's proposals and the capital reduction was effected on 1 may 2010.
    REGUIRED:
    Prepare the necessary journal entries for the capital reduction scheme.
    Prepare the balance sheet as it will appear immediately after the capital reduction scheme(each figure must be identified)

    It will increase, which is why the equity section increases. For example, if 100 shares of $10 par common stock are issued at $10, the entry is:

    Cash.................................1,000
    Common Stock..............................1,000

    Just for your info (not this problem), if they were issued at $12, the entry would be:

    Cash..................................1,200
    Common Stock........................................1,000
    Additional Paid-In Capital.............................200
