A holds 300 shares of Rs.10 each on which he has paid Re.1 per share on application. B holds 300 shares of Rs.10 each on which he has paid Re.1 on application and Rs.2 on allotment. C holds 300 shares of Rs.10 each, who has paid Re.1 on applications, Rs.2 on allotment and Rs.3 on first call. They all failed to pay their arrears and the second call of Rs.4 per share as well. All the shares of A, B and C were forfeited and subsequently reissued at Rs.11 per share as fully paid-up. The journal entries for the reissue of shares and transfer to capital reserve would be:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Amount forfeited: A 300×1=300300\times1=300, B 300×3=900300\times3=900, C 300×6=1,800300\times6=1{,}800; total =3,000=3{,}000.

Reissue of 900 shares at Rs.11\text{Rs.}11 gives Bank 9,9009{,}900, split as Share Capital 9,0009{,}000 and Securities Premium 900900, since reissue above face value creates genuine premium.

No discount is allowed on reissue, so the entire 3,0003{,}000 is profit transferred to Capital Reserve.
