Calculate the total amount received on share allotment.

Options:

₹75000

₹63000

₹53000

₹60000

Correct Answer:

₹63000

Explanation:

Shares issued = 15000
Application received = 20000
2000 shares application are rejected means on 18000 applications pro-rata is made.
Means application money received on 18000 shares = 18000 x 4 = ₹72000
Application money on 15000 shares = 15000 x 4 = 60000
Excess money adjusted towards allotment = 72000 - 60000
                                                                    = ₹12000
Allotment money due = 15000 shares x 5
                                  = ₹75000
Allotment money received after adjusted excess money of application = 75000 - 12000
                                                                                                              = ₹63000
