Correct Answer: Rs.1,600


Solution : Amount to be credited to Share Forfeiture A/c = 500 X Rs.14 = Rs.7,000
Number of shares reissued = 200
Amount debited to Share Forfeited = Rs.200 X Rs.6 = Rs.1,200.
Profit transferred to capital reserve = Rs.[(7,000/500) X 200 - 1,200] = Rs.1,600.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
