Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
X Itd. Issued 30,000 shares to the public having Face value ₹100 at 10% premium. Money is receivable as follows:
Application = ₹40 (including premium)
Allotment = ₹45
First and Final call = Remaining amount
The public applied for 50,000 shares. The company rejected application for 10,000 shares and made a pro rata allotment to the rest of the applicants. A shareholder applying for 400 shares, didn't pay the allotment and call money and his allotted shares were forfeited by the company. Later, the forfeited shares were reissued at ₹80 each as fully paid.
What amount is to be refunded while allotting shares on a Pro-rata basis?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1- 4,00,000.
Issue applications = 30,000
Received applications = 50,000
Rejected application = 10,000
Amount refunded on rejected application.
Money refunded = 10,000 shares x ₹40
= 4,00,000
