Expert Solution

Share Capital issued on 25 September:- 350000 shares of $5 each = $1750,000

Shares issued on 1 October 2017 :- 75000 shares of $4 each = $ 300,000

Dividend Paid during 2018:- $135,000

Final dividend not paid:- $51,580  

Q1. Share capital for 2018 would be:-

350,000 Shares issued at $5 each = 1750,000

75,000 shares issued at $4 each = 300,000

Total = $2050,000 Credit Balance

Note: dividend paid or not paid does not effect share capital. Also cash flow hedge wil be shown in reserves and not effect the share capital.

Q2. Cash flow hedge gain of $20,000 will be added in Reserves and shown as :-

Reserves (Cash Flow Hedge) = $20,000 Credit Balance

Edit: Replies to questions asked in Comment:-

Share issue costs of $10000 are also not deducted from share capital and are debited to Profit and Loss account as expenses.

Proposed final dividend of $51850, if proposed before finalisation of financial statements for year ending 30 June 2018, will be debited to Profit and loss account, and if finalised after finalisation of finalcial statements, it will be debited in P&L account next year. Normally, if such dividend is given in adjustments in a question, it is for taking its effect in the books,and should be debited to P&L account.

Hope it clears your doubts.
