Applications were received for 13000 shares. Applications for 3000 shares were rejected and pro-rata was made on the remaining shares.

How much amount was received on first call in cash?

₹6000

Amount received on application = 10000 X 3 = ₹30000
Amount should be on the application = 4000 X 3 = ₹12000
The excess amount received that will be adjusted towards allotment and calls= 30000 - 12000 = ₹18000
