On Applications  ₹40 (including ₹10 premium)

Rohan to whom 600 shares were allotted failed to pay the allotment money and his shares were forfeited immediately after allotment.

Second and final call was made. All the money due on second call have 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.

Options:

35,000

30,000

29,400

28,500

Correct Answer:

28,500

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- 28,500.

Shares issued = 30,000
Shares forfeited of Rohan = 600

Shares applied by Aman = 1050
Those who applied for 35,000 shares are allotted 30,000 shares.
Allotted shares to Aman = 30,000/35,000 x 1050
                                   = 900 shares

Final call is made after both forfeiture. So, final call made on =
Shares issued - Shares of Rohan - Shares of Aman
30,000 - 600 - 900
=28,500
