Question:

XYZ ltd. issued 1,000 shares of ₹10 each, at 10% premium, payable as follows :
Application - ₹5
Allotment - ₹ 3 (including premium)
First and final call - Balance

Calculate the amount received on first and final call.

Options:

₹5,000

₹3,000

₹1,000

₹10,000

Correct Answer:

₹3,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹3,000.

Face value per share = ₹10
Premium per share = 10% of ₹ 10
                              = ₹1
Application money per share = ₹5
Allotment money per share = ₹3 (including premium)
Amount received on first and final call = Total payment per share - (Application money + Allotment money)
Total payment per share = Face value + Premium
                                        = ₹10 + ₹1
                                        = ₹11
Amount received on first and final call = ₹11 - (₹5 + ₹3)
                                                           = ₹11 - ₹8
                                                           = 3

Amount received on first and final call = 1,000 x 3
                                                            = ₹3,000
