Options

• ₹12,93,600

• ₹12,73,000

• ₹12,73,600

Answer 1

Amount received in Cash on allotment will be ₹12,73,600.

Explanation:

Allotment due = ₹14,00,000

Less excess application money adjusted = ₹1,20,000

Net due in cash = ₹12,80,000

Agam (1,000 shares) didn’t pay allotment ₹7,000
→ So actual cash received = ₹12,80,000 – ₹7,000 = ₹12,73,000

Final cash received = ₹12,80,000 – ₹6,400

= ₹12,73,600
