Answer:

Amount credited in share forfeiture =6000

profit on 1000share is 600)

profit on 800 share is 6000/1000×800=4800

800 shares of face value 8000 are issued for 7000 therefore loss on reissue 1000

amount transferred to capital reserve

= 4800-1000= 3800

Concept:

Reissue of Forfeited shares-

Shares are forfeited when only a portion of the due amount is received and the remainder remains unpaid.

The membership of the original allottee is cancelled upon forfeiture. He or she cannot be forced to pay the remaining balance.

Such shares become the company's property. As a result, the company may sell these shares.

This type of share sale is known as a "reissue of shares."

Given:

Shares forfeited - 1000 of Rs 10 each fully called

Amount paid = 6000

Shares reissued - 800

payment on reissue of shares = 6600

Find:

Amount to be transfered to capital account.

Solution:

Amount forfeited for 1000 shares= 6000

Amount forfeited for 800 shares = 6000/1000 x 800 = 4800

Face value of 800 shares = 8000

Payment received on reissue of 800 shares = 6600

Loss on reissue = 8000-6600= 1400

This amount loss of 1400 will be compensated by forfeiture account and rest amount will be transferred to capital reserve.

Amount to be transferred to capital reserve = 4800 - 1400 = 3400

Hence, the amount to be transferred to the capital reserve is the amount not utilized towards the reissue of forfeited shares. Here, the amount not utilized is 3400 therefore it will be transferred to capital reserve.
