Answer 1

i hope it's helpful for you

Answer 2

Assumptions:

The Paid-up value of the forfeited share is not specified in the question,  

We assume that the paid-up value is Rs. 75 per share  

We assume that the first call is also the final call, so the unpaid value is Rs.25 per share

Journal Entries

Share Capital a/c Dr. (500 x 100)  50,000  

To Forfeiture A/c Rs. (500 x 75)     37,500

To Calls in Arrears A/c (500 x 25)     12,500  

(Being share capital reduced and forfeiture of 500 shares due to non-payment of the first call)

In the above entry, the amount received on forfeited shares are booked under forfeiture a/c  

Journal entry for re-issue of 250 shares :

Bank a/c Dr. (250 x 50)   12,500

Forfeiture a/c Dr. (250 x 50)   12,500    

To Share Capital A/c (250 x 100)     25,000

(Being 250 shares re-issued @ 50 per share and money received and loss on forfeiture adjusted to share capital account)  

Forfeiture A/c Dr. (250 x  25)   6,250

To Capital Reserve A/c (250 x  25)    6,250

(Being excess amount received on 250 shares adjusted to capital reserve)

Note:

Called up value of 250 Shares @ 75 per share = 18,750

The Company’s loss on this forfeiture is 25 per share

Value of 250 shares re-issued @ 50 per share = 12,500

Adjustment of forfeiture loss @ 25 per share = 6,250

Excess received for 250 shares @ 25 per share = 6,250

So this amount of 6,250 will be transferred to Capital Reserve A/c
