MIG Ltd. forfeited 80 shares of Rs 10 each, issued at a discount of 10% for non-payment of first call of Rs 2 per share. The second and final call of Rs 3 per share has not yet been called. Out of these, 20 shares were re-issued as Rs 7 paid-up for Rs 5 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=80shares×Rs5=Rs400
ForfeitureAmountfor20shares=20shares×Rs5=Rs100
ForfeitureAmountonreissue=20shares×Rs2=Rs40
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=Rs100−Rs40=Rs60
Hence, the profit earned on the reissue of shares is Rs 60.
