Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Amount forfeited per share =100−30=70= 100 - 30 = 70. For the 180180 shares reissued, forfeited amount =180×70=12,600= 180 \times 70 = 12,600. Discount allowed on reissue =(100−60)×180=7,200= (100 - 60) \times 180 = 7,200. Capital reserve =12,600−7,200=5,400= 12,600 - 7,200 = 5,400.
