Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2- ₹2,000.
The journal entry for forfeiture is -
Share Capital A/c Dr. 20,000
To Share calls A/c 17,000
To Share Forfeiture A/c 3,000
The journal entry for reissue is -
Bank A/c Dr. 18,000 (2,000 x 9)
Share forfeiture A/c Dr. 2000 (2,000 x 1)
To Share Capital A/c 20,000 (2,000 x 10)
(Being forfeited shares re-issued @9 per share)
Share forfeiture balance is used for shares issued at discount. And after that remaining balance will be transferred to capital reserve. So, here 2,000 is used at the time of reissue.
