Money overpaid on application was utilised towards sum due on allotment. All the money was duly received with the exception of first call from Rahul, who applied for 2,600 shares. Due to non payment of 1^st call his share were forfeited immediately. Later on these share were re-issued at minimum issue price.

On the basis of following case study, answer the question.

Record journal entry for forfeiture of Rahul's shares.

Share Capital A/c Dr                          ₹16,000
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr     ₹4,000
                     To Share I^st call A/c                    ₹10,000
                     To Share forfeiture A/c                ₹10,000

The correct answer is Option (3) -

Share Capital A/c Dr                           ₹16,000
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr   ₹4,000
                     To Share I^st call A/c                      ₹10,000
                     To Share forfeiture A/c                 ₹10,000

Shares applied by Rahul = 2600
Shares allotted to Rahul = 50000/65000 x 2600
                                   = 2000

Excess money received on application by Rahul = 600 shares x 3
                                                                     = 1800

This will be adjusted against allotment.

Money due on allotment = 2000 x 5
                                   = 10000

Money received on allotment = 10000 - 1800
                                          = 8200

Money due on 1st Call = 2000 shares x 5
                                 = 10000 including premium

Money not received = 10000
Money called up without premium = 2000 shares x 8
                                                 = 16000

Premium that is not received = 2000 shares x 2
                                           = 4000

Amount received = 2000 shares x 5
                         = 10000

Share Capital A/c Dr.                          ₹16,000 (called up amount)
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr.     ₹4,000 (called up premium that is not received)
                     To Share I^st call A/c                    ₹10,000 ( Not received on call)
                     To Share forfeiture A/c                ₹10,000 (amount received)
