Answer 1

₹1,000

Explanation:

Calls received position
On 18,000 shares → Full ₹100
On 2,000 shares → ₹75
On 2,500 shares → ₹50
On 1,500 shares → ₹20
Forfeited shares = 2,500 + 1,500 = 4,000 shares

Money received on forfeited shares
2,500 shares × ₹50 = ₹1,25,000
1,500 shares × ₹20 = ₹30,000
Total = ₹1,55,000 credited to Share Forfeiture A/c

Reissue of forfeited shares
All 4,000 forfeited shares reissued at ₹95 fully paid up.
Face value = ₹100 → Discount on reissue = ₹5 per share.
For 4,000 shares → Discount = 4,000 × ₹5 = ₹20,000.

Balance in Share Forfeiture A/c

Total credited (Step 3)	₹1,55,000
Less: Used for discount on reissue	₹20,000
Net Balance left	₹1,35,000

Per Share balance

Leftover = ₹1,35,000 ÷ 4,000 shares = ₹33.75 per share

₹33.75 per share × 30 shares

=₹1,000
