If an equity share of Rs. 20 on which Rs. 18 is called-up and Rs. 10 is paid, is forfeited. What will be the equity share capital account amount in the forfeiture journal entry ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

On forfeiture, Share Capital A/c is debited with the amount called up on those shares, not the face value or the amount received. Called-up value here is 1818 per share, so the Equity Share Capital A/c is debited by 1818.
