Question
Tobias Limited received its registration certificate on 10 February 2020. The article 2 of
the Memorandum of incorporation provides for an authorized share capital of
R4 500 000 consisting of 3 000 000 ordinary shares and 1500 000, 8% non-
redeemable preference shares. The board decided on a year end of 30 September.
During March 2020, the directors entered the following transactions:
• 5 March: 100 00o shares were issued to the company promoters and founders
for R1 each.
• 12 March: The public was invited to apply for 600 000 ordinary shares for R1.20
each and 200 000 preference shares for R1. The full issue price was payable with
applications that closed on 25 April 2020.
The entire issue was underwritten by FNB Securities Brokers Limited for a commission
of 2% of the issue price. The company promoters and founders paid for their shares on
8 April 2020.
The share applications from the public investors were as follows:
1 500 000 ordinary shares
• 150 000 preference shares.
On 30 April 2020, the board of directors decided to:
• allot the preference shares in accordance with the applications received.
• allot all applications for ordinary shares in the ratio of 2 shares for every five
applied for.
• Refund all excess applications amounts in respect of ordinary shares on 2 May
2020.
• Settle with the underwriters on 5 May 2020 and set off the share issue costs
against the proceeds of share issue.
The profits for the financial reporting period ended 30 September 2020 amounted to
R150 000 (after taxation). This was a commendable performance given the difficult
COVID-19 business restrictions. The total dividends of R20 000 were declared by the
board of directors on 28 September 2020. Dividends are payable on 15 October 2020 to
the benefit of shareholders on record on 7 October 2020. None of the shareholders were
exempt from the 20% withholding tax on dividends.
You are required to:
(a) Prepare general journal entries to record the above transactions in the books of
Tobias Limited. Journal narrations are not required.
(b) Prepare the relevant extracts of the equity section of the statement of financial
position of Tobias Limited as of 30 September 2020.
