Option 1: Rs. 720

Option 2: Rs. 1,200

Option 3: Rs. 480

Option 4: Nil

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 480


Solution :

Answer = Rs. 480

Excess amount received from Hari on application:

600 shares were allotted to Hari

Therefore, he must have applied for =36,000/ 30,000 x 600 = 720 shares

Excess application money received from Hari:

(720 shares - 600 shares) x  Rs. 6 = 120 shares x  Rs. 6 =  Rs. 720.

Amount due but not paid by Hari on allotment:

Rs.

600 shares x  Rs. 2

1,200

Less: Excess application money adjusted on allotment

[ Rs. 600 as a part of Share Capital (600 x  Rs. 1) and balance  Rs. 120 as a

720

part of Securities Premium]

 

Amount due but not paid by Hari

480
