Answer Details
An ordinary share of ₦100 was issued at ₦80, which means it was issued at a discount. A share is said to be issued at a discount when its issue price is lower than its par or face value. In this case, the par value of the share is ₦100, but it was issued at ₦80, which is lower than its face value. Therefore, the difference between the issue price and the par value (₦100 - ₦80 = ₦20) is the discount. On the other hand, if a share is issued at a price higher than its par value, it is said to be issued at a premium. When a share is issued at its face value, it is said to be issued at par. Lastly, a loss is incurred when the selling price of an asset is lower than its purchase price. However, that is not the case in this scenario as there is no information on any selling of the share.
