Question : Krishna Ltd. forfeited 2,000 shares of Rs. 20 each, fully called up, on which only application money of RS. 6 has been paid. Out of these 1,000 shares were reissued and Rs. 4,000 has been transferred to capital reserve. Calculate the rate at which these shares were reissued.
Option 1: Rs 20 per share
Option 2: Rs 18 per share
Option 3: Rs 22 per share
Option 4: Rs 8 per share
Correct Answer: Rs 8 per share
Solution : Answer = Rs 8 per share
Share forfeited credited = 1000 shares x 6 paid up = 6000
Capital Reserve = 4000
Share forfeited (Dr.) = 2000
(1000 x 2)
Re-issued Amount = 10 - 2 = Rs 8
Hence, the correct option is 4.
