₹8,000

The correct answer is option (4) - ₹8,000.

₹8,000 is transferred to capital reserve account.

Journal entry for forfeiture of 300 shares-

Share Capital A/c Dr.   ₹21,000 (300 x 70) Calledup amount
    To Share Final call A/c         ₹6,000 (300 x 20) Unpaid amount
    To Share Forfeiture A/c       ₹15,000 (300 x 50) Paid amount

200 were reissued at ₹60 per share as ₹70 paid up.

Journal entry for reissue of 200 shares-

Bank A/c Dr.                     ₹12,000 (200 x 60)
Share forfeiture A/c  Dr.     ₹2,000 (200 x 10)
         To Share Capital A/c         ₹14,000 (200 x 70)

Amount related to share forfeiture for 200 shares = 15,000/300 x 200
                                                                        = ₹10,000
Amount used in reissue = ₹2,000
Amount transferred to capital reserve = 10,000 - 2,000
                                                       = ₹8,000

Thus, ₹8,000 is transferred to capital reserve account.
