If a share of ₹10 on which ₹8 has been called and ₹6 is paid is forfeited, the Share Capital Account should be debited with which amount? |
₹8 ₹6 ₹10 ₹2 |
₹8 |
The correct answer is option 1- ₹8. Shares are issued at a face value against which a certain amount is called up. The called up amount is credited to share capital account. Once the shares are forfeited, a reversal entry need to be passed in books of account by debiting the share capital account by the amount of called up amount. |
