The directors of a company forfeited 400 equity shares of Rs. 10 each fully called up on which Rs. 1,600 had been paid. All the forfeited shares were reissued upon payment of Rs. 3,000. Calculate the amount transferred to Capital Reserve
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Amount forfeited = Rs. 1,600. Face value of 400 shares = 400 x 10 = 4,000. Discount on reissue = 4,000 - 3,000 = 1,000. Capital Reserve = Forfeited amount - Discount on reissue = 1,600 - 1,000 = Rs. 600.
