Anu Ltd. invited applications for 30,000 Shares of Rs. 100 each at a premium of Rs. 20 per share payable as follows: On Application Rs. 40 (including Rs.10 premium), On Allotment Rs. 30 (including Rs.10 premium), On First Call Rs. 30 On Second and Final Call Rs. 20

Applications were received for 40,000 shares and pro-rata allotment was made on the application for 35,000 share. Excess application money was utilised towards allotment. Raju to whom 600 shares were allotted failed to pay the allotment money and his shares were forfeited immediately after allotment.

Find the amount of allotment not paid by Raju?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Pro-rata ratio =35,000:30,000=7:6= 35,000 : 30,000 = 7:6, so Raju applied for 700700 shares and paid 700×40=28,000700 \times 40 = 28,000. Application money due on 600600 shares =24,000= 24,000, leaving excess 4,0004,000. Allotment due =600×30=18,000= 600 \times 30 = 18,000; less excess 4,0004,000, the unpaid allotment is 14,00014,000.
