Correct Answer: Rs. 13,840


Solution : Answer = Rs. 13,840

Equity Share Capital A/c   Dr.           16,000

Securities Premium A/c     Dr.            3,200

To Share Forfeiture A/c                                      3,840

To Equity Share Allotment A/c                            7,360

To Equity Share first Call A/c                             3,200

To Equity Share Second and Final Call A/c       4,800

(1,600 shares held by Ram forfeited for the non-payment amount due including premium)

Equity Share Capital A/c      Dr.          20,000

To Equity Share Forfeiture A/c                         10,000

To Equity Share First Call A/c                           4,000

To Equity Share Second and Final Call A/c      6,000

(2,000 shares held by Shyam forfeited for non-payment of amount due)


Therefore, the total amount credited to the Share Forfeiture A/c  = Rs.3,840 + Rs.10,000 = Rs.13,840.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
