5,000

45,000

Correct Answer:

10,000

Explanation:

Application money received - 25,000* 2 = 50,000
Share capital needed at application time = 15,000 * 2 = 30,000
Refund = 5,000*2 = 10,000
Excess money adjusted against allotment
Money adjusted on Share Allotment =  50,000 - 30,000- 10,000
                                                          = 10,000
