Solution

The correct option is A ₹3,600
Share Forfeiture = 800 x ₹7.5 = ₹6,000
For 600 shares = 6,000800×600

= ₹4,500
Discount = ₹4,500 - ₹2,100 = ₹2,400
Discount per share = 2,400600
= ₹4 per share
Re-issue Price = Nominal Value - Discount
= ₹10 - ₹4 = ₹6
Total Amount Received = 600 x ₹6
= ₹3,600
