Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Shares forfeited =6,000/30=200= 6,000 / 30 = 200, so (C) is true. Shares reissued =15,000/100=150= 15,000 / 100 = 150, so (A) is true and (B) false. Forfeited amount per share =14,000/200=70= 14,000 / 200 = 70; on 150 shares =10,500= 10,500, less discount allowed 6,0006,000, giving capital reserve =4,500= 4,500, so (D) is true.
