thanks alotthe answer is A, see, the company made a bonus issue of one for one, which means that the ordinary shares which are 200000, increase by 200000.... and the right issue of 100000, increased the ordinary shares to 500000
we used the share premium available ( which is $80000 ) to pay the 2000000 shares of the bonus issue, but it was insufficient, so we used the revenue reserves too, so the balance of the share premium is zero now and the revenue reserves are now 40000 ( 200000 - 800000 - 1200000 = 0 ) and therefore, we paid the bonus issue....
now for the right issue, $0.40 * 100000 = 40000 which will go to the share premium account, making an increase to the balance ( which was zero ) to be 40000
hope that was helpful :/ and understandable...
