Answer 1

Books of Ashoka Limited Journal
Date	Particulars			L.F.	Debit Amount Rs	Credit Amount Rs
	Share Capital A/c		Dr.		20,000
		To Final Call A/c				4,000
		To Share Discount A/c				4,000
		To Share Forfeiture A/c				12,000
	(1,000 Shares of 20 per share forfeited for nonpayment of Share Final Call money @ Rs 4 per share)
	Bank A/c (400×14)		Dr.		5,600
	Discount on Issue of Shares A/c (400×4)		Dr.		1,600
	Share Forfeiture A/c (400×2)		Dr.		800
		To Share Capital A/c				8,000
	(400 shares @ Rs 20 per share reissued for Rs 14 per share fully paid-up)
	Bank A/c		Dr.		4,000
		To Share Capital A/c				4,000
	(200 shares @ 20 per share reissued for Rs 20 per share fully paid-up)
	Share Forfeiture A/c		Dr.		6,400
		To Capital Reserve				6,400
	(Balance of 600 shares in Share Forfeiture Account transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue)

Balance in Share Forfeiture Account (12,000 – 800 – 6,400) = Rs 4,800

Working Notes:

For 400 Shares

Share Forfeiture Account credited	Rs 12 per share
Less: Share Forfeiture Account debited	Rs 2 per share
Amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after adjustment	Rs 10 per share

Amount of 400 shares transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue

= 400 Shares @ Rs 10 per share

= Rs 4,000

For 200 Shares

Share Forfeiture Account credited	Rs 12 per share
Less: Share Forfeiture Account debited	Nil
Amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after adjustment	Rs 12 per share

Amount of 200 shares transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue

= 200 Shares @ Rs 12 per share

= Rs 2,400

Total amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account for 600 shares	= Capital Reserve for 200 shares + Capital Reserve for 200 shares
	= 4,000 + 2,400
	= Rs 6,400
