Options:

Credit Capital Reserve by ₹28,666

Credit Forfeited shares by ₹26,667

Debit Capital Reserve by ₹18,333

Correct Answer:

Credit Capital Reserve by ₹28,666

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Credit Capital Reserve by ₹28,666.

Forfeiture of Rohan's shares-

Share Capital A/c Dr.                      ₹30,000 ( Calledup amount- 600 x 50)
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr.  ₹6,000  (600 x 10)
      To Share Allotment A/c                             ₹14,000 (Amount not received on allotment)
      To Share Forfeiture A/c                             ₹22,000 (Amount received)
(Forfeiture of 600 shares of Rohan for non-payment of allotment money)

Forfeiture of Aman's share-

Share Capital A/c Dr.    ₹72,000 (Calledup amount 900 x 80)
       To Share First Call A/c     ₹27,000 (Not received 900 x 30)
       To Share Forfeiture A/c   ₹45,000 (Received amount)
(Forfeiture of 900 shares of Aman)

1000 shares have been reissued including 900 shares of Aman and Balance 100 shares of Rohan.

Bank A/c Dr.                  ₹80,000
Share Forfeiture A/c Dr.  ₹20,000
       To Share Capital A/c            ₹1,00,000
(Reissue of 1,000 forfeited shares)

Gain on Rohan's share-
Gain on 600 shares = ₹22,000
Gain on 100 shares = 22,000/600 x 100
                             = 3,666.66 or ₹3667.

Gain on Aman's share-
Gain in 900 shares = ₹45,000

Total = 3667 + 45,000
        = 48,667
Less: 20,000 (Loss on reissue of 1,000 shares)

Transferred to Capital Reserve = 48,667 - 20,000
                                             = 28,667
