Preference Shares book value @ $2.25 per share - $13,500,000

The following events occurred during the financial year:

An obligatory 6% preference share dividend was announced on 1/9/2017. The preference dividend was paid on 16/9/2017.

On 10/11/2017 the directors declared an issue of 300,000 bonus ordinary shares to existing ordinary shareholders at book value (i.e. $2.00)

After announcing a profit of $2,680,000 for the financial year on 30 June 2018, the directors decided that 20% of the remaining profit (after considering all dividends declared throughout the year) was to be transferred into a General Reserve.
