Expert Solution

Correct option is D)

 

Explanation:

As per section 80 of the Companies Act 1956, company can redeem preference shares only out of fresh issue or profits that are available for distribution as dividends. In case, there is premium to be paid on redemption it should be paid out of profit available for paying dividends or out of securities premium account. 

Amount to be paid on redemption = 2,00,000 + 20,000 ( 10% of 2,00,000) 

                                                          = 2,20,000

Amount of fresh issue = Amount to be paid on redemption - (Free reserves +                                                                                    securities premium reserve)

                                     = 2,20,000 - ( 30,000 + 20,000 + 8,000 + 50,000)

                                     = Rs-1,12,000.

 


Correct option is D)
