Options:

₹60,000

₹30,000

Zero

₹15,000

Correct Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Zero.

Journal entry on forfeiture of shares is-
Share Capital A/c          Dr.       16,000 (200 x 80)
Securities premium A/c Dr.       2,000(200 x 10)
          To Shares Forfeiture A/c                  6,000 (200 x 30)
          To Share Allotment A/c                   12,000 (200 x 60)
(200 shares forfeited)

Journal entry on reissue of shares is-
Bank A/c   Dr.               14,000 (200 x 70)
Share Forfeiture A/c      6,000 (200 x 30)
      To Share Capital A/c           20,000 (200 x 100)
(Reissue of 200 shares)

Amount related to 200 shares in share forfeiture A/c =  6,000
Amount used in reissue = 6,000
Remaining amount in share forfeiture account = 0

So, zero will be the answer as no amount is transferred to capital reserve.
