Solution
Share Structure:
- Face Value = Rs. 10
- Premium = Rs. 3
- Issue Price = Rs. 13
Payment Schedule per share:
- Application: Rs. 3
- Allotment: Rs. 5 (including premium of Rs. 3)
- Balance on Calls: Rs. 5
Application and Allotment Details:
Applied for 100 shares → Paid on application = 100 × 3 = Rs. 300
Allotted only 50 shares → Application money required = 50 × 3 = Rs. 150
Excess application money = 300 - 150 = Rs. 150 (to be adjusted towards allotment)
Allotment Analysis:
Allotment due on 50 shares = 50 × 5 = Rs. 250
This Rs. 250 comprises:
- Share Capital portion = 50 × 2 = Rs. 100
- Premium portion = 50 × 3 = Rs. 150
When excess application money of Rs. 150 is adjusted towards allotment, as per standard practice, it is first applied towards the share capital component.
Therefore:
- Share Capital portion received = Rs. 100 (fully adjusted)
- Premium portion received = Rs. 150 - Rs. 100 = Rs. 50
Premium not received = Rs. 150 - Rs. 50 = Rs. 100
On forfeiture of shares, the Securities Premium Account must be debited to the extent premium was credited but not actually received (either in cash or through adjustment).
Amount to be debited to Securities Premium A/c = Rs. 100
