Eee Ltd. forfeited 200 shares of Rs 10 each (Rs 8 called up) on which the holder had paid application and allotment money of Rs 5 per share. Out of these 50 shares were re-issued to F as fully paid for Rs 8 per share. The Profit on re-issue is ___________.
Forfeiture amount per share is the amount to be received by the company on forfeiture of each share.
ForfeitureAmount=ApplicationAmount+AllotmentAmount
Substitute the values in above equation
ForfeitureAmount=Rs5
Forfeiture amount is the money received by company on forfeiture (cancellation of share) or on the reissue of share.
ForfeitureAmount=No.ofshares×ForfeitureAmount
Substitute the values in the above equation
ForfeitureAmount=200shares×Rs5=Rs1,000
ForfeitureAmounton50shares=50shares×Rs5=Rs150
Forfeitureamountonreissue=50shares×Rs0=Rs0
Profit on the reissue is the profit earned by the company when the forfeited shares are reissued
Profitonreissue=ForfeitedAmountonforfeiture−ForfeitedAmountonreissue
Substitute the values in the above equation
Profitonreissue=Rs150−Rs0=Rs150
Hence, the profit on the reissue of shares is Rs 150.
