150 shares of Mr. Ram of Rs.10 each issued at a premium of Rs.4 per share payable with allotment were forfeited for non-payment of allotment money of Rs.8 per share including premium. The first and final call of Rs.4 per share was not made. The forfeited shares were reissued at Rs.15 per share fully paid-up. Calculate the amount transferred to capital reserve.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Allotment of 88 includes premium 44, so capital called on allotment is 44. Called-up capital before forfeiture =10−4=6= 10 - 4 = 6, of which application money is 6−4=26 - 4 = 2 per share.

Amount forfeited =150×2=300= 150 \times 2 = 300.

Reissue at 1515 is above face value, so no discount is set off and the full 300300 goes to Capital Reserve.
