Solution
Looking at the forfeiture and re-issue of shares to determine the capital reserve amount:
Calculation of amount forfeited per share:
- Face value per share = Rs.100
- Final call not paid = Rs.30
- Amount already paid per share = Rs.100 - Rs.30 = Rs.70
When 200 shares were forfeited, the total amount in Shares Forfeiture Account = 200 × Rs.70 = Rs.14,000
Re-issue of 150 shares:
Re-issue price per share = Rs.60
Since re-issue price (Rs.60) is less than face value (Rs.100), there is a discount of Rs.40 per share.
Total discount on re-issue = 150 × Rs.40 = Rs.6,000
This discount is adjusted against the Shares Forfeiture Account of those 150 re-issued shares.
Amount available for Capital Reserve:
For the 150 re-issued shares:
- Amount forfeited = 150 × Rs.70 = Rs.10,500
- Less: Discount on re-issue = Rs.6,000
- Balance transferred to Capital Reserve = Rs.4,500
The forfeited amount relating to the 50 shares not re-issued (Rs.3,500) remains in Shares Forfeiture Account and is not transferred to Capital Reserve yet.
