Options:

₹9,00,000

₹8,82,000

₹8,75,000

₹8,55,000

Correct Answer:

₹8,55,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- ₹8,55,000

Shares issued = 30,000
Rohan shares forfeited after allotment = 600

Remaining shares = 30,000 - 600
                           = 29,400

On 29,400 shares first call is made.

Amount due on first call = 29,400 x 30
                                    = 8,82,000

Aman who applied for 1,050 shares failed to pay first call and his share were forfeited immediately after first Call.
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

Amount not received from Aman = 900 x 30
                                                = 27,000

Amount received on first call = 8,82,000 - 27,000
                                          = 8,55,000
