Options:

₹4,95,000

₹5,00,000

₹3,00,000

₹3,95,000

Correct Answer:

₹4,95,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹4,95,000.

Per share amount on call = 10 - 2(application)- 3(allotment)
                                        = ₹5

Mr. A did not pay call amount on his shares
He applied for 3,000 shares
Shares allotted to him = 1,00,000/3,00,000 x 3,000
                                    = 1/3 x 3,000
                                    = 1,000

Money received on first and final call = 1,00,000 - 1,000
                                                          = 99,000 shares

Total amount received on call = 99,000 x 5
                                               = ₹4,95,000
