Select the amount that is received from Hari's reissued shares.

Options:

₹4800

₹4000

₹8000

₹9600

Correct Answer:

₹4000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹4000.

Hari applied for 1200 shares
Those who applied for 60000 shares got 50000 shares.
Alloted shares to Hari = 50000/60000 x 1200
                                   = 5/6 x 1200
                                   = 1000
So, 1000 shares are forfeited and half share i.e. 500 shares are reissued at ₹8 per share as fully paid up.
So, Amount received on reissued shares = 500 x 8
                                                          = ₹4000
