Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

On forfeiture only the called-up amount is cancelled. Called-up capital is 1,000×100=1,00,0001,000 \times 100 = 1,00,000, the unpaid final call is 1,000×20=20,0001,000 \times 20 = 20,000, and the amount already received is 80,00080,000. So Share Capital A/c is debited with 1,00,0001,00,000, Share Second and Final Call A/c credited with 20,00020,000 and Share Forfeiture A/c credited with 80,00080,000. Premium already received is not reversed.
