The building is purchased for Rs 6,00,000, and the payment will be made through issuing shares.
Finding the Issue Price per Share:
Face Value of each share = Rs 100
Premium = 20% of Rs 100 = Rs 20
Issue Price per share = Face Value + Premium
Issue Price = Rs 100 + Rs 20 = Rs 120
Calculating Number of Shares:
Using the formula: Number of Shares = Issue Price per ShareTotal Consideration
Number of Shares = 1206,00,000 = 5,000 shares
When shares are issued at a premium, the company receives the full issue price (face value + premium) for each share. Since the total payment required is Rs 6,00,000 and each share brings in Rs 120, dividing gives us 5,000 shares.
Correct Option: 1 (5000 shares)
