How u got. Xplain

see first calculate the premium of the share issue of ordinary shares which is (3000 X 0.5)= 1500

now u have to deduct the share premium on redemption of preference shares at 0.2 premium, and it had been issued previously at 0.1 premium. so the balance remained 0.1 per perference share would have to be financed by the new issue which is (3750 X 0.1) = 375

now deduct the two values:- 1500-375=1125 increase

hope u got it, but still if any doubt plz feel free to ask.
