The key takeaways are the different types of shares (ordinary and preference shares), how shares are recorded when issued for assets or services, and how treasury shares are accounted for.

The main types of shares discussed are ordinary shares and preference shares. Ordinary shares represent normal ownership in a company while preference shares carry a fixed dividend rate and priority over ordinary shares in claims to company profits.

Treasury shares are shares that were previously issued but later reacquired by the company. They are recorded as a reduction to shareholders' equity at their cost value.

of P 1,500,000. The fair value of the shares issued is P 180 per share or a total of P 1,800,000.

If the fair value of the land is used, the entry is:

Share premium 800,000

If the par value of the share is used, the entry is:

Ordinary shares – are normal shares issued by a company. The normal rights of ordinary

the business.

Preference shares – are shares carrying a fixed rate of dividend, the shareholders have a prior
claim to any company profits available for distribution. They may also be called preferred
shares.

Subscription receivable and other receivable from sale of share should be reflected in the
shareholders’ equity section as a reduction from the related subscribed share capital. However,
subscriptions receivable collectible within one year may be shown as current assets.
