Correct Answer:

Capital reserve Account

Explanation:

The balance, if any, left in the share forfeited account relating to reissued shares, should be transferred to the Capital Reserve Account. The Capital Reserve Account is a capital account that is used to record the profits that a company makes from the reissue of forfeited shares. The balance in the Share Forfeited Account is transferred to the Capital Reserve Account because it represents a profit that the company has made from the reissue of the shares.
