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 received by shareholder A at the time of allotment?

Options:

₹9,000

₹9,500

₹8,500

₹8,000

Correct Answer:

₹9,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹9,000.

Who allotted 10,000 shares applied for 12,500 shares
Shares allotted to A = 400
Shares applied by A = 12,500/10,000 x 400
                                = 500

Money received on application by A = 500 x 50
                                                        = ₹25,000

Excess money received by A on application = 100 x 50
                                                                    = 5,000
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
