Options:

₹6,00,000

₹6,50,000

₹6,86,000

₹7,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹6,86,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹6,86,000.

Allotted shares to Rohan = 600
Those who applied for 35,000 shares are allotted 30,000 shares.
Applied shares by Rohan = 35,000/30,000 x 600
                                     = 700

Excess money received on application  = 100 x 40
                                                        = 4,000

Money due on allotment = 600 x 30
                                   = ₹18,000
The excess money on application is adjusted towards allotment.

Balance due on allotment = 18,000 - 4,000
                                     = ₹14,000

This 14,000 is not received from Rohan on allotment

Total amount due on allotment = 30,000 shares x 30
                                             = 9,00,000

Applications were received for 40,000 shares and pro-rata allotment was made on the application for 35,000 share. Excess application money was utilised towards allotment.
Excess amount received on application = 5,000 x 40
                                                        = 2,00,000

This 2,00,000 is adjusted in allotment money. So, money received on allotment-
Due amount on allotment = 9,00,000
Excess adjusted from application = 2,00,000
Remaining amount = 9,00,000 - 2,00,000
                            = 7,00,000
Amount not received from Rohan = 14,000
Amount received on allotment = 7,00,000 - 14,000
                                            = 6,86,000
