Entity D issued ₹100 par cumulative class A preference shares on 1 Jan 20X1 at ₹81.63 each (a discount), entitled to a ₹7 cumulative annual dividend STARTING 20X4. Market yield on issue is 7%. For 20X1, the imputed preference dividend for EPS purposes (amortised from the original-issue discount) is:

A₹7 per share (the eventual coupon)
B₹18.37 per share (full discount)
C₹5.71 per share (= 81.63 × 7%, effective-interest amortisation of the discount)
D₹0 — no dividend until 20X4
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. ₹5.71 per share (= 81.63 × 7%, effective-interest amortisation of the discount)
Increasing-rate preference shares — original issue discount is amortised using effective interest method to retained earnings and treated as a preference dividend for EPS. Year 20X1: 81.63 × 7% = ₹5.71. Carrying amount becomes 87.34.
