Applications were received for 5,00,000 shares. The directors decided to make a pro-rata allotment to all the applicants and adjust the excess application money towards the amount due on allotment and to refund the amount remaining thereafter. What amount will be adjusted towards sum due on allotment ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Application money received =5,00,000= 5,00,000 shares at 5=25,00,0005 = 25,00,000. Required on application =2,50,000= 2,50,000 at 5=12,50,0005 = 12,50,000. Excess =12,50,000= 12,50,000. Allotment due =2,50,000= 2,50,000 at 7.50=18,75,0007.50 = 18,75,000, which is larger, so the entire excess of 12,50,00012,50,000 is adjusted and nothing is refunded.
