Z & Co. forfeited 100 shares of Rs. 10 each for non-payment of final call of Rs. 2 per shares. All shares were reissued at Rs. 9 per share. What amount will be transferred to Capital reserve A/c?
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=Rs8
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=100shares×Rs8=Rs800
Forfeitureamountonreissue=100shares×Rs1=Rs100
Profit on the reissue is the profit earned by the company when the forfeited shares are reissued and transferred to capital reserve account
Profitonreissue=ForfeitedAmountonforfeiture+ForfeitedAmountonreissue
Substitute the values in the above equation
Profitonreissue=Rs800−Rs100=Rs700
Hence, the amount credited to capital reserve accountis Rs 700.
