₹1,50,000

₹2,20,000

₹3,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹2,20,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹2,20,000.

Shares issued = 50,000
Application received = 60,000
Excess money will be adjusted towards allotment
Excess money  = 10,000 shares x 3
                        = 30,000

Allotment money due = 50,000 x 5
                                 = 2,50,000

Allotment money received = 2,50,000 -30,000
                                         = 2,20,000
