Accounting for Shares

Question:
What will be the allowed amount of discount on the re-issue of shares?
Options:
10% of the issue price
Up to the amount of forfeited money
Could not issue a discount
None of these
Correct Answer:
Up to the amount of forfeited money
Explanation:
Forfeited shares may be reissued as fully paid at a par, premium, discount. In this context, it may be noted that the amount of discount allowed cannot exceed the amount that had been received on forfeited shares at the time of initial issue, and that the discount allowed on reissue of forfeited shares should be debited to the ‘Forfeited Share Account’.
