How much amount is not paid by A?

Options:

₹10000

₹9000

₹19000

₹24000

Correct Answer:

₹19000

Explanation:

Who allotted 10000 shares applied for 12500 shares
Shares allotted to A = 400
Shares applied by A = 12500/10000 x 400
                                = 500
Money received on application by A = 500 x 50
                                                        = ₹25000
Excess money received by A on application = 100 x 50
                                                                    = 5000
Money due on allotment by A = 400 shares x 35
                                               = 14000
Excess money adjusted to allotment = 5000
Money not received by A on allotment = 14000 - 5000
                                                            = ₹9000

Amount not received on call by A = 400 x 25
                                                    = 10000

Total amount not received by A = 10000 + 9000
                                                  = ₹19000
