Working Note:

Profit on forfeiture = 24,000

Profit on forfeiture of Ravi's shares (4,000) -

= (4,000 × 10) − (4,000 × 7)

= 40,000 − 28,000

= ₹12,000

Profit on forfeiture of other 2,000 shares -

= (2,000 × 10) − (2,000 × 4) 

= 20,000 − 8,000

= ₹12,000

Profit on forfeiture of 1,000 shares = `(12,000)/(2,000) xx 1,000` = ₹6,000

Total profit on shares reissued = 12,000 + 6,000 = ₹18,000

Profit on reissue to be transferred to capital reserve = 18,000 − 10,000 = ₹8,000
