Question:

Where will a company transfer the balance left in the share forfeited account after the reissue of such shares?

Options:

Capital reserve Account

Reserve Capital

Revenue reserve Account

Securities premium account

Correct Answer:

Capital reserve Account

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Capital reserve Account.

The balance, if any, left in Share Forfeited A/c, in respect of shares reissued, transferred to Capital Reserve A/c.

Once all the forfeited shares have been reissued, any credit balance on Share forfeiture account is transferred to Capital Reserve representing profit on forfeiture of shares. In the event of all forfeited share not being reissued, the credit amount on Share forfeiture account relating to shares yet to be reissued is carried forward and the remaining balance on the account only is credited to capital reserve account.
