Solution

The correct option is D Rs 8
Forfeiture amount per share is the amount to be received by the company on forfeiture of each share.

$F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t = A p p l i c a t i o n A m o u n t$

Substitute the values in above equation

$F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t = R s 2$

Forfeiture amount is the money received by company on forfeiture (cancellation of share) or on the reissue of share.

$F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t = N o . o f s h a r e s \times F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t$

Substitute the values in the above equation $F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t = 10 s h a r e s \times R s 2 = R s 20$

$F o r f e i t u r e A m o u n t f o r 8 s h a r e = 8 s h a r e s \times R s 2 = R s 16$

$F o r f e i t u r e a m o u n t o n r e i s s u e = 8 s h a r e s \times R s 0 = R s 0$

Profit on the reissue is the profit earned by the company when the forfeited shares are reissued

$P r o f i t o n r e i s s u e = F o r f e i t e d A m o u n t o n f o r f e i t u r e$

Substitute the values in the above equation

$P r o f i t o n r e i s s u e = R s 16 - R s 0 = R s 16$

Hence, the profit earned on the reissue of shares is Rs $16$ .
