Working Note:

Bajaj’s Share

Number of shares applied

Money received on Application (4,000 shares × Rs 3)	=	12,000
Less: Money transferred to Shares capital (3000 shares × Rs 3)	=	9,000
Excess money on Application		3,000

Allotment due (3,000 shares × Rs 5)	=	15,000
Less: Excess money on application	=	3,000
Calls-in-Arrears on Allotment		12,000

Share Allotment

Money due an allotment (2,00,000 shares × Rs 5)	=	10,00,000
Less: Excess money on Application	=	3,00,000
Less: Calls-in-Arrears on Bajaj’s shares	=	12,000
Money received on Allotment	=	Rs 6,88,000

Sharma’s shares

Number of shares allotted

Capital Reserve

Forfeiture of shares held by Bajaj

Share Forfeiture Credit	=	Rs 4 per shares
Share Forfeiture Debit on re-issue	=	Rs 2	per share
Share Forfeiture after re-issue		Rs 2	per share

Capital Reserve on re-issue of Bajaj’s shares	=	Rs 2 × 3,000 (no. of shares re-issued)
	=	Rs 6,000

Forfeiture of shares held by Sharma

Share Forfeiture Credit	Rs 8	per share
Share Forfeiture Debit on re-issue	Rs 2	per share
	Rs 6	per share

Capital Reserve on re-issue of 500 Shares of Sharma = Rs 6 × 500 (no. of shares re-issued) = Rs 3,000

Total Capital Reserve on 3,500 shares = 6,000 (re-issue of Bajaj’s) + 3,000 (re-issue of Sharma’s) = Rs 9,000
