On application ₹4        On allotment ₹6
On first call ₹1             On final call-Balance

Applications were received for 36,000 shares and pro-rata allotment was made to all the applicants. Directors have not made the final call. Mr. Ritesh the holder of 300 shares did not pay anything after application money. Directors forfeited these shares and re-issued them at ₹6 per share.

On the basis of following case, answer the Question.

Calculate the amount not paid by Mr. Ritesh at the time of allotment.

₹ 120

The correct answer is Option (4) - ₹ 120.

Pro-rata ratio = 12:5
Those alloted 15000 shares applied for 36000 shares.
Ritesh alloted 300 shares
Ritesh applied for = 36000/15000 x 300
                          = 720 shares.

On application ₹4
On allotment ₹6

Money received from Ritesh = 720 x 4
                                         = ₹2880

Money on application needed = 300 x 4
                                          = ₹1200

Excess money adjusted towards allotment = 2880 - 1200
                                                             = ₹1680

Money due on allotment = 300 x 6
                                   = ₹1800

Money not received on allotment = Money due on allotment - Excess money adjusted
                                                = 1800 - 1680
                                                = ₹120
