    question on capital reduction
    $ $
    INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS –GOODWILL 431,250
    TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS 5,606,250 6,037,500
    CURRENT ASSETS
    STOCK 276,000
    DEBTORS 690,000
    BANK 51,750
    1,017,750

    ORDINARY SHARES OF $1.00 8,625,000
    PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT (1,932,000)
    6,693,000
    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)

    Did you do your journal entries? You need to do this first, or at least attempt to do this.

    Cash and Owners equity will be increased. There will also be increased ownership in the company, which will decrease control of the management of the company.
