Working Note:

1. Called-up value = Total face value – Uncalled call

= ₹ 100 – ₹ 20

= ₹ 80 per share

2. Premium amount:

10% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 10 per share. (Since allotment was not paid, this premium is unpaid).

3. Amount Paid-up (To be Forfeited):

Total allotment money (including premium) = ₹ 60

Allotment money (Face Value part) = ₹ 60 – ₹ 10 (Premium)

= ₹ 50

Amount paid by shareholder (Application) = Called-up Value – Allotment

= ₹ 80 – ₹ 50

= ₹ 30 per share

Total amount forfeited = 2,000 × 30

= 60,000

4. Calculation of Discount on Reissue:

Reissue Price = ₹ 70 per share

Reissued as = Fully paid up (i.e., ₹ 100)

Discount on Reissue = ₹ 100 – ₹ 70

= ₹ 30 per share

Total Discount Allowed = 2,000 × 30

= 60,000

5. Transfer to Capital Reserve:

Amount available in Share forfeiture A/c = ₹ 60,000

Less: Discount used during reissue = ₹ 60,000

Amount Transferred to capital reserve = Nil (₹ 0)
