Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3-
Shares Forfeiture A/c Dr. ₹4,500
To Capital Reserve A/c ₹4,500
Journal entry on forfeiture of shares is-
Share Capital A/c Dr. 20,000 (200 x 100)
To Shares Forfeiture A/c 14,000 (200 x 70)
To Share Second and Final Call A/c 6,000 (200 x 30)
(200 shares forfeited)
Journal entry on reissue of shares is-
Bank A/c Dr. 9,000 (150 x 60)
Share Forfeiture A/c 6,000 (150 x 40)
To Share Capital A/c 15,000 (150 x 100)
(Reissue of 150 shares)
Amount related to 200 shares in share forfeiture A/c = 14,000
Amount related to 150 shares in share forfeiture A/c = 14,000/200 x 150
= 10,500
Amount used in reissue = 6,000
Remaining amount in share forfeiture account related to 150 shares = 10,500 - 6,000
= 4,500
This 4,500 is transferred to capital reserve as it is the profit for the company. The journal entry for this-
Shares Forfeiture A/c Dr. ₹4,500
To Capital Reserve A/c ₹4,500
