Interim dividend paid = 4500000 x 3 %
= 135000
Total amount received from issue of equity shares = Total amount of shares issued + Security premium received on issue (-) Interim dividend paid

Redemption of preference shares = Opening balance of preference shares (-) Closing balance of preference shares

= 140800
