Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. X Itd. Issued 30,000 shares to the public having Face value ₹100 at 10% premium. Money is receivable as follows: Application = ₹40 (including premium) Allotment = ₹45 First and Final call = Remaining amount The public applied for 50,000 shares. The company rejected application for 10,000 shares and made a pro rata allotment to the rest of the applicants. A shareholder applying for 400 shares, didn't pay the allotment and call money and his allotted shares were forfeited by the company. Later, the forfeited shares were reissued at ₹80 each as fully paid. |
Amount to be credited to Calls-in Arrears account at the time of forfeiture is: |
₹9,500 ₹21,000 ₹17,000 ₹13,500 |
₹17,000 |
The correct answer is option 3- ₹17,000. Issue applications = 30,000 Those who apply for 40,000 shares got 30,000 shares. A shareholder applying for 400 shares, didn't pay the allotment and call money. Alloteed shares to shareholder = 30,000/40,000 x 400 Money received by him application = 400 x 40 Money required on application = 300 shares x 40 Excess money adjusted on allotment = 16,000 - 12,000 Money due on allotment and calls = 300 shares x (45 +25) Money not received = 21,000 - 4,000
