Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Analyze the share structure
Face value of share = ₹10
Securities premium = ₹4
Total issue price = ₹14
Money received till forfeiture:
Application and Allotment including premium = ₹6 (face value) + ₹4 (premium) = ₹10
First call of ₹3 was unpaid
Second call of ₹2 was not yet made
Called-up capital at time of forfeiture = ₹8 (₹6 + ₹2 first call)
Amount unpaid = ₹3 (first call)
Amount received = ₹6 (face value) + ₹4 (premium) = ₹10
Face value of share = ₹10
Securities premium = ₹4
Total issue price = ₹14
Money received till forfeiture:
Application and Allotment including premium = ₹6 (face value) + ₹4 (premium) = ₹10
First call of ₹3 was unpaid
Second call of ₹2 was not yet made
Called-up capital at time of forfeiture = ₹8 (₹6 + ₹2 first call)
Amount unpaid = ₹3 (first call)
Amount received = ₹6 (face value) + ₹4 (premium) = ₹10
Step 2: Forfeiture Entry for 10,000 shares
₹8 called up × 10,000 shares = ₹80,000
₹3 unpaid (first call) × 10,000 = ₹30,000
Amount received = ₹6 per share × 10,000 = ₹60,000
Securities Premium was already received and hence not reversed.
Share Capital A/c Dr. ₹80,000 To Share Forfeiture A/c ₹70,000 To Share First Call A/c ₹30,000Explanation:
₹8 called up × 10,000 shares = ₹80,000
₹3 unpaid (first call) × 10,000 = ₹30,000
Amount received = ₹6 per share × 10,000 = ₹60,000
Securities Premium was already received and hence not reversed.
Step 3: Reissue Entry (at a discount of ₹1 per share)
Face value = ₹10, premium ₹4, so reissued at ₹13 → discount of ₹1/share → ₹10,000 discount adjusted from Share Forfeiture A/c.
Bank A/c Dr. ₹1,30,000 Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. ₹10,000 To Share Capital A/c ₹1,40,000Shares reissued at ₹13 per share, fully paid-up.
Face value = ₹10, premium ₹4, so reissued at ₹13 → discount of ₹1/share → ₹10,000 discount adjusted from Share Forfeiture A/c.
Step 4: Transfer balance in Share Forfeiture A/c to Capital Reserve
Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. ₹60,000 To Capital Reserve A/c ₹60,000
