Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Amount not received on First Call 

Shares appied by Vibha =`100000 / 75000 = 1000 "Shares"`

Amount received on 1000 shares of Rs 4 each = Rs 4000

Amount transferred to share Capital A/c (750 × 4) = Rs 3000

Excess money received on application and allotment = Rs 1000

Amount due on first call @ Rs 3 each = Rs 2250

Amount not received on first call = Rs 1250 (2250 - 1000)

WN2: Calculation of Amount not received on Second Call  

Shares allotted to Monika = `75000/100000 xx 1000 = 750 "Shares"`

Amount not received on second call = Rs 2250 (750× 3)
