Solution

The correct option is B Rs 16

Forfeiture amount per share is the amount to be received by the company on forfeiture of each share.

ForfeitureAmount=ApplicationAmount

Substitute the values in above equation

ForfeitureAmount=Rs2

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=10shares×Rs2=Rs20

ForfeitureAmountfor8shares=8shares×Rs2=Rs16

ForfeitureAmountonreissue=8shares×Rs0=Rs0

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

Profitonreissue=ForfeitedAmountonforfeitureForfeitedamountonreissue.

Substitute the values in the above equation

Profitonreissue=Rs16Rs0=Rs16

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

Share forfeiture a/c Dr Rs16

To capital reserve a/c Rs16
