• Credited with ₹6,000

• Debited with ₹2,400

• Credited with ₹2,400

• Credited with ₹3,600

Answer 1

Credited with ₹2,400

Explanation:

A applied 900, allotted 600

Refund for 300 shares = 300 × ₹12 = ₹3,600

Amount retained = 900 × ₹12 − 3,600 = ₹7,200

Transfer of application: to Share Capital (600 × ₹3) = ₹1,800; to Allotment (600 × ₹5) = ₹3,000.

Balance = 7,200 − 1,800 − 3,000

= ₹2,400
