Working Notes:
WN 1:
Calculation of amount refunded to Govind
Shares allotted to Govind = `12000/15000 xx 300 = 240 " shares"`
Amount received on 300 shares of 100 each = 30,000
Amount transferred to Share Capital A/c (240 x 50) =12,000
Amount transferred to Securities Premium A/c (240 x 50) = 12,000
Excess money received on application and Allotment = 6,000
Amount due on First call @ 75 each = 18,000
Amount adjusted on First Call = 12,000 (18,000 – 6,000)
Actual amount received from Govind on 300 shares @ 175 = 52,500
Amount to be adjusted on 240 shares @ 175 = 42,000
Therefore, Amount refunded = 10,500 (52,500 – 42,000)
WN2:
Calculation of amount not received from Girdhar
Shares allotted to Giridhar = `12,000/15000 xx 600 = 480` shares
Amount received on 600 shares of 100 each = 60,000
Amount transferred to Share Capital A/c (480 x 50) = 24,000
Amount transferred to Securities Premium A/c (480 x 50) = 24,000
Excess money received on Application and Allotment = 12,000
Amount due on First Call @ 75 each = 36,000
Amount not received on First Call = 24,000 (36,000 – 12,000)
WN 3:
Calculation of amount transferred to Capital Reserve
Share Forfeiture of 480 shares = 36000
Share Forfeiture of 300 shares =`36000/480 xx 300= 22500`
