On first and final call—Balance.

Applications for 4,00,000 shares were received. Applications for 40,000 shares were rejected and application money refunded. Shares were allotted on pro rata basis to the remaining applicants.

Correct Answer: Credited with Rs. 1,900


Solution : Answer = Credited with Rs. 1,900

Share Capital A/c (800 X 5)                          Dr.   4,000
Securities Premium Reserve A/c  (800 X 2)  Dr.  1,600
                To Share Forfeiture A/c (Bal. Figure)                1,900
                To Calls-in-arrears A/c (Note)                            3,700



Note:
Calculation of amount not received from Jeevan on Allotment:

Shares applied by Jeevan = 3,60,000/3,20,000 × 800 = 900 shares.
Application money received on shares applied (900 × Rs. 3) =   2,700
Less: Application money due on shares allotted (800 × Rs. 3) = (2,400)
Excess Application money adjusted on allotment                          300
Allotment money due on shares allotment = Rs.800 × Rs.5 = Rs.4,000
Less: Excess Application money adjusted on allotment        = Rs.300
Allotment money due but not received                                  = Rs.3,700

Hence, the correct option is 1.
