Applications were received for 40,000 shares and pro-rata allotment was made to the applicants for 35,000 shares. Excess application money was utilised towards allotment.
Rohan to whom 600 shares were allotted failed to pay the allotment money and his shares were forfeited immediately after allotment.
Aman who applied for 1,050 shares failed to pay first call and his shares were forfeited immediately after first call.
Second and final call was made. All the money due on second call has been received.
Of the shares forfeited 1,000 shares were reissued as fully paid-up for ₹80 per share, which include the whole of Aman's shares.
Answer the question on the basis of the information given.
At time of forfeiture of Rohan's shares, Forfeited Shares A/c will be credited by ____________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹22,000
On forfeiture, Share Capital is debited with the amount called up, Securities Premium with the premium not received, and Share Forfeiture is credited with the amount actually received.
Rohan’s application = 600 × 35,000/30,000 = 700 shares
Application money paid = 700 × ₹40 = ₹28,000; due on 600 shares = ₹24,000; excess ₹4,000 goes to allotment
Allotment unpaid = 600 × ₹30 − ₹4,000 = ₹14,000
Share Capital Dr. 600 × ₹50 = ₹30,000; Securities Premium Reserve Dr. 600 × ₹10 = ₹6,000
Share Forfeiture Cr. = ₹30,000 + ₹6,000 − ₹14,000 = ₹22,000
