The first and final call of Rs. 20 per share on these shares were not made. The forfeited shares were reissued at Rs. 70 per share as fully paid-up. Capital reserve created after reissue will be:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Looking at the share issuance and forfeiture details:

Face Value per share = Rs. 100

Premium = Rs. 10

Allotment money (including premium) = Rs. 60

Final call not made = Rs. 20

The payment structure per share would be:

  • Application money = Rs. 100 + Rs. 10 - Rs. 60 - Rs. 20 = Rs. 30 (paid)
  • Allotment money = Rs. 60 (not paid - reason for forfeiture)
  • Final call = Rs. 20 (not made)

Amount paid before forfeiture = Rs. 30 per share

Total amount forfeited for 200 shares = Rs. 30 × 200 = Rs. 6,000

This Rs. 6,000 gets credited to Share Forfeiture Account.


On Reissue:

The shares are reissued at Rs. 70 per share as fully paid-up (face value Rs. 100).

Discount on reissue per share = Rs. 100 - Rs. 70 = Rs. 30

Total discount on 200 shares = Rs. 30 × 200 = Rs. 6,000

This discount amount must be written off from Share Forfeiture Account.


Capital Reserve is calculated as:

Capital Reserve = Amount Forfeited - Discount on Reissue

Capital Reserve = Rs. 6,000 - Rs. 6,000 = Zero

The entire forfeited amount gets utilized to absorb the discount on reissue, leaving no balance to be transferred to Capital Reserve.

Correct Option: 3 (Zero)
