Applications for 15,000 shares is received by the company. The company rejected the applications for 2,500 shares and made pro-rata on the remaining applicants. Mr. A shareholder who is allotted 400 shares failed to pay the allotment and call money due to which the company forfeited his shares and reissued at ₹105 per share.
How much amount is not paid by A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3- ₹19,000.
Who allotted 10000 shares applied for 12,500 shares
Shares allotted to A = 400
Shares applied by A = 12500/10000 x 400
= 500
Money received on application by A = 500 x 50
= ₹25,000
Excess money received by A on application = 100 x 50
= 5000
Money due on allotment by A = 400 shares x 35
= 14,000
Excess money adjusted to allotment = 5,000
Money not received by A on allotment = 14,000 - 5,000
= ₹9,000
Amount not received on call by A = 400 x 25
= 10,000
Total amount not received by A = 10,000 + 9,000
= ₹19,000
