Accounting for Shares

Question:

A company issued 10,000 shares of ₹10 each. Amount is payable as ₹2 on application, ₹5 on allotment, and ₹3 on first and final call. A shareholder who had 1,000 shares failed to pay allotment and first call amount on due date. What amount is received by the company against issue of shares?

Options:

₹20,000

₹92,000

₹1,00,000

₹80,000

Correct Answer:

₹92,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹92,000.

Amount due on total shares = 10,000 x 10
                                             = ₹1,00,000

Shareholders didn't pay on 1,000 shares @ 8
Not paid money = 1000 x 8
                          = ₹8,000

So total amount received on shares = 1,00,000 - 8,000
                                                         = ₹92,000
