INTEXT QUESTIONS 29.3
How much amount will be credited to Capital Reserve A/c in the following cases:
(i) 100 shares of Rs. 10 each forfeited for non payment of call of Rs. 3 per share reissued at Rs. 7 per share.
Ans: 100 shares × Rs.10 = Rs.1000.
Call unpaid = Rs.3 per share.
Reissue price = Rs.7.
Amount forfeited = Rs.3 × 100 = Rs.300.
Discount on reissue = (10 − 7) × 100 = Rs.300.
Capital Reserve = Rs.300 − Rs.300 = Rs.0.
(ii) 200 shares of Rs. 10 each forfeited on which Rs. 8 per share have been called and only Rs. 2 per share have been paid are reissued at Rs. 9 per share fully paid up.
Ans: 200 shares × Rs.10.
Called up = Rs.8 per share.
Paid = Rs.2 per share.
Amount forfeited per share = 8 − 2 = Rs.6.
Total forfeited = 200 × 6 = Rs.1200.
Reissue price = Rs.9.
Discount on reissue = 10 − 9 = Rs.1 per share.
Total discount = 200 × 1 = Rs.200.
Capital Reserve = 1200 − 200 = Rs.1000.
(iii) 100 shares of Rs. 20 each issued at a discount of Rs. 2 per share have been forfeited for non payment of first call of Rs. 4 and final call of Rs. 5 per share. These shares are reissued at Rs. 15 per share fully paid up.
Ans: 100 shares × Rs.20.
Issued at discount = Rs.2.
Reissue price = Rs.15.
Amount forfeited = First call Rs.4 + Final call Rs.5 = Rs.9 per share.
Total forfeited = 100 × 9 = Rs.900.
Discount on reissue = 20 − 15 = Rs.5 per share.
Total discount = 100 × 5 = Rs.500.
Capital Reserve = 900 − 500 = Rs.400.
| TERMINAL EXERCISE |
1. Give the meaning of ‘reissue of shares’.
Ans: Reissue of shares means the sale of shares which were earlier issued by the company but were later forfeited due to non-payment of allotment or call money. When shares are forfeited, the membership of the original shareholder is cancelled and the shares become the property of the company. The company may then sell or issue these forfeited shares again to new purchasers. Such sale of forfeited shares is known as reissue of shares.
2. What is the maximum permissible discount at the time of reissue of forfeited shares when the forfeited shares originally issued are (a) at par (b) at premium (c) at discount?
Ans: (i) Shares originally issued at par – The maximum permissible discount on reissue of such shares is equal to the amount forfeited on those shares.
(ii) Shares originally issued at premium – The maximum permissible discount is equal to the amount forfeited, which includes the premium amount if it has been received.
(iii) Shares originally issued at discount – The maximum permissible discount on reissue is equal to the amount forfeited plus the amount of discount originally allowed on such shares at the time of their issue.
3. What amount is transferred to Capital Reserve A/c after reissue of forfeited shares? Why is this account transferred to capital reserve A/c?
Ans: After reissue of forfeited shares, the balance amount remaining in the Share Forfeited Account, after adjusting the discount allowed on reissue, is transferred to Capital Reserve Account.
This amount is transferred to Capital Reserve because it represents a capital gain to the company. It arises from forfeiture of shares and not from normal business operations, therefore it is not treated as revenue profit but as capital profit and is credited to Capital Reserve Account.
4. Make journal entries for forfeiture and reissue of shares in the following cases:
(a) The directors of X Ltd. forfeited 400 shares of Rs. 10 each fully called up on which Rs. 2400 have been received. 300 of these shares were reissued upon payment of Rs. 2500
Ans: Given:
400 shares of ₹10 each = ₹4,000
Amount received = ₹2,400
Unpaid = ₹1,600
Reissued: 300 shares for ₹2,500
Face value = 300 × 10 = ₹3,000
Discount = 500 (allowed from forfeiture)
