Question : At the time of re-issue of shares. The allowed amount of discount on re-issue of shares will be________________.
Option 1: @ 20% of issue price
Option 2: Up to the amount of forfeited money
Option 3: Could not issue at discount
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: Up to the amount of forfeited money
Solution : Answer = Up to the amount of forfeited money
The allowed amount of discount on the re-issue of shares is up to the amount of forfeited money. When shares are forfeited, the forfeited amount represents a loss for the company. Therefore, the company can use this forfeited amount to offset any discount offered on the re-issue of shares.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
