Accounting for Shares

Question:
Zee Ltd. Forfeited shares of a person who applied for 1000 shares of Rs 10 each for non payment of allotment money and final call of Rs 5 and Rs 3 respectively. These shares belong to category ii (4000 shares alloted on 8,000 shares) , in which pro rata allotment was made. How much amount was NOT received on allotment?
Options:
₹2,500
₹1,500
₹5,000
₹3,000
Correct Answer:
₹1,500
Explanation:
"Share alloted = Total share allotted * No. of shares applied/ Total share applied
= 4,000 * 1000/8,000 = 500
Money received = 1000*2 = 2,000
Share capital - 500 * 2= 1,000
Allotment due - 500*5 = 2,500
Less : Advance received - 1,000
Allotment money not paid - 1,500"
