Question : A shareholder failed to pay share allotment money on 10,000 shares @ Rs. 30 per share. Which one of the following account will be taken into account?
Option 1: Debited to Share Capital A/c
Option 2: Debited to Calls-in Arrears A/c
Option 3: Credited to Calls-in in Arrears A/c
Option 4: Credited to Share Capital A/c
Correct Answer: Debited to Calls-in Arrears A/c
Solution : Answer = Debited to Calls-in Arrears A/c
