High Light India Ltd. invited applications for 30,000 shares of ₹100 each at a premium of ₹ 20 per share payable as follows :
| On Applications | ₹40 (including ₹10 premium) |
| On Allotment | ₹30 (including ₹10 premium) |
| On First Call | ₹30 |
| On Second and Final Call | ₹20 |
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.
Final call will be made due on ___________ shares.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 28,500
The second and final call is made only on the shares still held when it is made.
Shares allotted = 30,000
Less: Rohan’s shares forfeited after allotment = 600
Less: Aman’s shares forfeited after first call = 1,050 × 30,000/35,000 = 900
Shares on which the final call is due = 30,000 − 600 − 900 = 28,500
The 1,000 shares reissued were issued as fully paid, so no call is made on them.
