Solution

The correct option is A Rs 288

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

ForfeitureAmount=Applicationpershare

Substitute the values in the above equation

ForfeitureAmount=Rs6

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

TotalshareforfeitureAmount=Sharesforfeited×Forfeitureamount

Substitute values in the above equation

TotalshareforfeitureAmount=48shares×Rs6=Rs288

Thus, the amount to be credited to share forfeiture account is Rs288 while shares are being forfeited or canceled.
