Journal

Date	Particulars		L.F.	Debit Amount (Rs)	Credit Amount (Rs)
	Equity Share Capital A/c  (500×90)	Dr.		45,000
	To  Equity Share 1st Call A/c (500×30)				15,000
	To Share Forfeited A/c (500×60)				30,000
	( 500 equity shares forfeited for non-payment of final call)
	Bank A/c (300×130)	Dr.		39,000
	To Equity Share Capital A/c (300×100)				30,000
	To Security Premium Reserve A/c (300×30)				9,000

	Share Forfeited A/c	Dr.		18,000
	To Capital Reserve A/c				18,000
	( Profit on reissue of 300 shares transferred to Capital Reserve)

Working Note:

Amount transferred to Capital Reserve

Shares Re-issued = 300

Shares Forfeited = 500

Amount forfeited in respect of 300 shares

= `"Amount Forfeited" xx "Shares Re-issued"/"Shares Forfeited"`

=`30000 xx 300/500 = 18000`
