K Ltd. invited applications on 3000 Equity Shares of 100 each at a premium of 20. For application ₹ 50, on allotment ₹ 50 and on final call 20. Application also includes premium amount. Total application received 4,000 and allotted on prorata basis and excess amount adjusted towards allotment. One shareholder holding 600 shares did not paid allotment money but paid it with final call that was made after 2 months of allotment. Final call amount received in full.

Calculate the amount received at the time of allotment:

Options:

₹ 40,000

₹ 1,00,000

₹ 80,000

₹ 70,000

Correct Answer:

₹ 80,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹ 80,000

Money due on allotment = 3000 x 50
                                   = 150000

On 600 shares allotment money not paid by shareholder.
Applied shares by him = 4000/3000 x 600
                                 = 800
Amount adjusted on excess shares on allotment = 200 x 50
= ₹10000

Amount due on allotment = 600 x 50
                                     = 30,000

Amount adjusted = 10,000
Amount not received from him = 30,000 - 10,000
                                           = 20,000

Excess money adjusted on application towards allotment = 50000

Money received on allotment = 150000 -50000 - 20000
                                          = 80000
