Out of 500 shares, 200 shares are forfeited.

How much amount will be written in calls in arrears account?

Options:

₹8,000

₹10,000

₹6,000

₹8,500

Correct Answer:

₹6,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹6,000.

Call is not received on 500 shares.
Out of these 500 shares, 200 shares were forfeited.
So, remaining shares = 500-200
                                  = 300
On 300 amount is calls in arrears.
Hence, amount will be 300 x 20
                                  = ₹6,000
