Question : Wasim Ltd. had allotted 5,000 shares to the applicants of 6,000 shares on pro-rata basis. The amount payable on application is Rs.3 per share. S applied for 300 shares. The amount carried forward for adjustment against allotment money due:
Option 1: Rs.200
Option 2: Rs.150
Option 3: Rs.300
Option 4: Rs.250
Correct Answer: Rs.150
Solution :
Number of shares applied = 6,000
Number of shares allotted = 5,000
Calculation of allotted shares to S:
Number of applied shares = (Number of shares allotted/Number of shares applied) X Number of shares allotted = (5,000/6,000) X 300 = 250.
Excess application money received to be adjusted on allotment = (300 - 250) X Rs.3 = 50 X Rs.3 = Rs.150.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
