Options:

₹4,000

₹3,000

₹6,000

₹5,000

Correct Answer:

₹6,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - ₹6,000.

Share Capital A/c Dr. 30,000(600 x 50)
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr. 6,000 (600 x 10)
          To Share Allotment A/c 14,000
          To Share Forfeiture A/c 22,000
(Forfeiture of 600 shares of Rohan for non-payment of allotment money)

* Rohan has been allotted = 600 Shares
Applied shares by Rohan =  35,000/30,000 x 600
                                    =  700 Shares
Amount received from Rohan = 700 × 40 = 28,000
Amount Adjusted on Application = 600 × 40 = ₹24000
Excess Amount Adjusted on Allotment = 28000 -24000
                                                       = 4,000
Money due on Allotment = 600 × 30
                                     = 18,000
Money Adjusted on allotment = 4,000
Balance due on Allotment = 18000 - 4000
                                     = 14000

Amount received = 36000 - 14000
                          = ₹22000
