Q1Do it Yourself (after Illustration 2)

On April 01, 2019, a limited company was incorporated with an authorised capital of Rs. 40,000 divided into shares of Rs. 10 each. It offered to the public for subscription of 3,000 shares payable as follows: On Application Rs. 3 per share On Allotment Rs. 2 per share On First Call (One month after allotment) Rs. 2.50 per share On Second and Final Call Rs. 2.50 per share The shares were fully subscribed for by the public and application money duly received on April 15, 2019. The directors made the allotment on May 1, 2015. How will you record the share capital transactions in the books of a company if the amounts due have been duly received, and the company maintains the combined account for application and allotment.

Solution

Note: The date of allotment is given as May 1, 2015, which seems to be a typographical error. It should likely be May 1, 2019. The solution proceeds assuming the year is 2019.

Q2Do it Yourself (after Illustration 2)

Harsha Ltd., was registered with authorised capital of Rs. 25,00,000 divided into 2,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each. Promoters of the company had undertaken to subscribe 25,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each once the company was incorporated. The amount was paid by the subscribers and received by the company. The company later issued at par 2,00,000 shares to public for subscription. It received applications for 1,80.000 Equity Shares both through ASBA and physical mode. Shares were allotted to all the applicants. Determine the Authorised Share Capital, Issued Share Capital and Subscribed Share Capital of the Harsha Ltd.

Solution

The classification of Share Capital for Harsha Ltd. is as follows:

1. Authorised Share Capital: This is the maximum amount of share capital that the company is authorised to issue by its Memorandum of Association.

2,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each = Rs. 25,00,000

2. Issued Share Capital: This is the part of the authorised capital which is actually offered to the public for subscription, including shares taken by promoters.

Shares subscribed by promoters = 25,000 Equity Shares
Shares issued to the public = 2,00,000 Equity Shares
Total Issued Shares = 25,000 + 2,00,000 = 2,25,000 Equity Shares
Total Issued Capital = 2,25,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each = Rs. 22,50,000

3. Subscribed Share Capital: This is the part of the issued capital which has been actually subscribed by the promoters and the public.

Shares subscribed by promoters = 25,000 Equity Shares
Shares subscribed by the public = 1,80,000 Equity Shares
Total Subscribed Shares = 25,000 + 1,80,000 = 2,05,000 Equity Shares
Total Subscribed Capital = 2,05,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each = Rs. 20,50,000

Q1Do it Yourself (after Illustration 14)

A company forfeited 100 equity shares of Rs. 10 each issued at a premium of 20% for non-payment of final call of Rs. 5 including the premium. Show the journal entry for forefeiture of shares.

Solution

Journal Entry for Forfeiture of Shares

Particulars	Debit Amount (Rs.)	Credit Amount (Rs.)
Share Capital A/c (100 shares x Rs. 10) Dr.	1,000
Securities Premium Reserve A/c (100 shares x Rs. 2) Dr.	200
To Share Forfeiture A/c (Amount paid)		700
To Share Final Call A/c (100 shares x Rs. 5)		500
(Being forfeiture of 100 shares for non-payment of final call money)

Working Note:

Face Value per share = Rs. 10
Premium (20% of Rs. 10) = Rs. 2
Issue Price per share = Rs. 12
Final Call (including premium) = Rs. 5 (This means Rs. 3 for capital + Rs. 2 for premium)
Amount paid per share = Issue Price - Final Call = Rs. 12 - Rs. 5 = Rs. 7
Amount forfeited (credited to Share Forfeiture A/c) = 100 shares x Rs. 7 = Rs. 700
Since the premium amount included in the final call was not received, the Securities Premium Reserve Account is debited.

Q2Do it Yourself (after Illustration 14)

A company forfeited 800 equity shares of Rs. 10 each issued at a discount of 10% for non-payment of first and final calls of Rs. 2 each. Calculate the amount forfeited by the company and pass the journal entry for forefeiture of the shares.

Solution

Note: As per the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 53), a company cannot issue shares at a discount except for sweat equity shares. This question might be based on the old Companies Act, 1956. The solution is provided based on the accounting treatment for shares issued at a discount.

Calculation of Amount Forfeited:

Face Value per share = Rs. 10
Discount (10% of Rs. 10) = Re. 1
Issue Price per share = Rs. 9
First Call = Rs. 2
Final Call = Rs. 2
Total Unpaid Amount = Rs. 2 (First Call) + Rs. 2 (Final Call) = Rs. 4
Amount Paid per share = Issue Price - Unpaid Amount = Rs. 9 - Rs. 4 = Rs. 5
Total Amount Forfeited = 800 shares x Rs. 5 = Rs. 4,000

From B: 200 shares x (Re. 1 + Rs. 2) = 200 x 3 = Rs. 600
From C: 300 shares x (Re. 1 + Rs. 2 + Rs. 3) = 300 x 6 = Rs. 1,800
Total Amount Forfeited = 100 + 600 + 1,800 = Rs. 2,500

2. Calls in Arrears:

Total Called-up = 600 shares x Rs. 10 = Rs. 6,000
Total Paid-up (Forfeited) = Rs. 2,500
Total Calls in Arrears = 6,000 - 2,500 = Rs. 3,500

Q1Question for Practice

What is public company?

Solution

A public company, as defined by the Companies Act, 2013, is a company which is not a private company. Key characteristics include:

It can offer its shares or debentures to the public for subscription.
There is no restriction on the transferability of its shares.
It must have a minimum of seven members, with no maximum limit on the number of members.
It must have a minimum of three directors.
It is not a subsidiary of a private company.

Q2Question for Practice

What is a private company.

Solution

A private company is a type of company which, by its articles of association, has the following characteristics:

Restricts the right to transfer its shares: The shares are not freely transferable like those of a public company.
Limits the number of its members: The maximum number of members is limited to 200, excluding its present and past employees who are members.
Prohibits any invitation to the public: It cannot invite the public to subscribe for any of its securities (shares or debentures).
It must have a minimum of two members (except for a One Person Company) and a minimum of two directors.

To issue fully paid bonus shares to the members of the company.
To write off the preliminary expenses of the company.
To write off expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on any issue of securities or debentures of the company.
To provide for the premium payable on the redemption of any redeemable preference shares or debentures of the company.
For the purchase of its own shares (buy-back of shares).

Q7Question for Practice

What is meant by Calls in Advance?

Solution

Calls in Advance refers to the amount received by a company from its shareholders before the company has actually made a formal call for it. Sometimes, a shareholder may choose to pay the full amount on their shares at an earlier stage (e.g., at allotment) even though the company has only demanded a part of it. This excess amount is credited to a separate 'Calls in Advance' account, which is treated as a liability of the company until the actual call is made. The company may pay interest on this advance amount, as specified in its Articles of Association (Table F suggests a rate not exceeding 12% p.a.). In the balance sheet, it is shown under 'Current Liabilities' as 'Other Current Liabilities'.

Q8Question for Practice

Write a brief note on "Minimum Subscription".

Solution

Minimum Subscription is the minimum amount of capital that a company must raise from the public through its share issue before it can proceed with the allotment of shares. This concept ensures that the company has sufficient funds to commence its business operations. According to the SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines, the minimum subscription must be at least 90% of the total issued amount.

The amount is determined by the directors and should be sufficient to cover:

The purchase price of any property to be acquired.
Preliminary expenses and commission on share issue.
Repayment of any money borrowed for the above purposes.
Working capital requirements.

If the company fails to receive the minimum subscription within the specified period (120 days from the issue of prospectus), it cannot allot the shares and must refund the entire application money received within the next 10 days (i.e., within 130 days of prospectus issue).

Q9Question for Practice

What is meant by the word 'Company'? Describe its characteristics.

Solution

A company is a legal entity formed by a group of individuals to engage in and operate a business enterprise in a commercial or industrial capacity. It is an artificial person, created by law, with a distinct legal identity separate from its owners (shareholders). It is incorporated or registered under the Companies Act, 2013, or any previous company law.

The main characteristics or features of a company are as follows:

Body Corporate: A company is an incorporated association, formed and registered under the provisions of the Companies Act. It has a legal existence of its own.
Separate Legal Entity: A company is a legal person distinct from its members. It can own property, enter into contracts, sue, and be sued in its own name. The assets and liabilities of the company belong to the company and not to its shareholders.
Limited Liability: The liability of the members (shareholders) is limited. In a company limited by shares, a shareholder's liability is restricted to the unpaid amount on the shares held by them. In a company limited by guarantee, it is limited to the amount they have guaranteed to contribute in the event of winding up.
Perpetual Succession: A company has a continuous existence, unaffected by the death, insolvency, or retirement of its members. Members may come and go, but the company goes on forever unless it is legally wound up.
Common Seal: Being an artificial person, a company cannot sign documents itself. It uses a common seal as its official signature. Any document bearing the common seal is legally binding on the company.
Transferability of Shares: The shares of a public limited company are freely transferable. A shareholder can transfer their shares to another person without the consent of other members, subject to the manner prescribed in the Articles of Association.
Management and Ownership are Separate: The shareholders are the owners of the company, but they do not participate in the day-to-day management. They elect a Board of Directors who manage the affairs of the company on their behalf.

Explain in brief the main categories in which the share capital of a company is divided.

Solution

From an accounting perspective, the share capital of a company is classified into the following main categories:

Authorised Capital (or Nominal/Registered Capital): This is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is authorized to issue, as stated in its Memorandum of Association. The company cannot raise capital beyond this limit without altering the Memorandum. It can be increased or decreased by following the legal procedure.
Issued Capital: This is the part of the authorised capital that the company actually offers to the public, vendors, or promoters for subscription. The remaining portion of the authorised capital that is not offered is called 'Unissued Capital'.
Subscribed Capital: This is the portion of the issued capital that has been actually subscribed to (or taken up) by the public and other investors. It can be equal to or less than the issued capital. When the number of shares applied for is more than the shares offered, it is a case of oversubscription, but the subscribed capital is still recorded as equal to the issued capital.
Called-up Capital: This is the portion of the subscribed capital that the company has asked its shareholders to pay. The company may decide to call the entire face value of the shares or only a part of it, depending on its fund requirements. The portion not yet called is known as 'Uncalled Capital'.
Paid-up Capital: This is the part of the called-up capital that has been actually received from the shareholders. If some shareholders fail to pay the called amount, it results in 'Calls in Arrears'. Therefore, Paid-up Capital = Called-up Capital - Calls in Arrears.
Reserve Capital: This is a part of the uncalled capital that a company, by a special resolution, decides not to call up except in the event of its winding up. It is meant for the security of the company's creditors at the time of liquidation.

Q11Question for Practice

What do you mean by the term 'share'? Discuss the type of shares, which can be issued under the Companies Act, 2013 as amended to date.

Solution

A share is the smallest unit into which the total share capital of a company is divided. It represents a fractional part of the company's capital and forms the basis of ownership interest in the company. A person who holds one or more shares is called a shareholder and is a part-owner of the company.

Under the Companies Act, 2013, a company can issue two types of shares:

1. Preference Shares: Preference shares are those shares that carry preferential rights over equity shares in two aspects:

Preferential right to dividend: They receive a dividend at a fixed rate or a fixed amount before any dividend is paid to the equity shareholders.
Preferential right to repayment of capital: In the event of the company being wound up, their capital is repaid before the capital of equity shareholders.

Preference shares can be further classified as cumulative/non-cumulative, participating/non-participating, and redeemable/irredeemable.

2. Equity Shares (or Ordinary Shares): Equity shares are shares that are not preference shares. They do not carry any preferential rights regarding the payment of dividend or the repayment of capital. The key features of equity shares are:

Dividend: Equity shareholders are paid a dividend only after the dividend on preference shares has been paid. The rate of dividend is not fixed and depends on the profits available and the decision of the Board of Directors.
Repayment of Capital: In case of winding up, their capital is repaid only after all other claims, including those of preference shareholders, have been settled. They are the last claimants on the company's assets.
Voting Rights: Equity shareholders typically have voting rights in the company's meetings, which gives them control over the management of the company. Equity shares can be issued with normal voting rights or with differential rights as to voting, dividend, or otherwise.

Q12Question for Practice

Discuss the process for the allotment of shares of a company in case of over subscription.

Solution

Oversubscription occurs when a company receives applications for more shares than it has offered to the public. In such a situation, the company cannot allot shares to all applicants. The Board of Directors has to decide on a basis for allotment. There are three main alternatives available to the directors:

1. Full Allotment to Some, Rejection to Others: The directors can accept some applications in full and completely reject the remaining applications. The applicants whose applications are accepted receive the full number of shares they applied for. The application money received from the rejected applicants is refunded in full.

Accounting Treatment: The application money for rejected applications is transferred from the Share Application Account to the Bank Account (for refund).

2. Pro-rata Allotment: The directors can make a proportionate or pro-rata allotment to all applicants. In this method, every applicant is allotted a smaller number of shares than they applied for, in a fixed ratio. For example, if applications are for 50,000 shares and the issue is for 40,000 shares, shares are allotted in the ratio of 4:5.

Accounting Treatment: The excess application money received is not refunded but is adjusted towards the amount due on allotment. If the excess amount is more than the allotment money, the surplus may be adjusted towards future calls (as Calls-in-Advance) or refunded to the shareholders.

3. Combination of the Above Two Alternatives (Most Common): This is the most common method used in practice. The directors may adopt a policy that combines the first two alternatives. For instance:

Applications for a certain number of shares are rejected entirely (e.g., applications for very small lots).
Applicants for a certain range of shares are given full allotment.
The remaining applicants are allotted shares on a pro-rata basis.
Accounting Treatment: This involves a combination of refunding money for rejected applications and adjusting the excess application money from pro-rata allottees towards their allotment and possibly future calls.

Q13Question for Practice

What is a 'Preference Share'? Describe the different types of preference shares.

Solution

A Preference Share is a type of share that carries preferential rights over equity shares. According to Section 43 of the Companies Act, 2013, a preference share is one which has:

A preferential right to receive a dividend, paid either as a fixed amount or at a fixed rate, before any dividend is paid to equity shareholders.
A preferential right to the repayment of capital on the winding up of the company, before anything is paid to equity shareholders.

Preference shares can be classified into different types based on their features:

Cumulative Preference Shares: If the company does not earn sufficient profit in a particular year to pay the dividend on these shares, the unpaid dividend (arrears) accumulates and is carried forward to subsequent years. These arrears must be paid before any dividend is paid to equity shareholders.
Non-Cumulative Preference Shares: For these shares, the right to a dividend for a particular year is lost if the company does not declare it in that year due to insufficient profits. The dividend does not accumulate.
Participating Preference Shares: These shareholders have the right to participate in the surplus profits of the company after the dividend has been paid to both preference and equity shareholders, up to a certain limit. They may also have the right to share in surplus assets upon winding up.
Non-Participating Preference Shares: These shareholders are entitled only to their fixed rate of dividend and do not have the right to share in the surplus profits or assets of the company.
Redeemable Preference Shares: These are shares that the company can buy back (redeem) after a specified period or at a specified date, as per the terms of issue. A company limited by shares can only issue redeemable preference shares.
Irredeemable Preference Shares: These shares cannot be redeemed during the lifetime of the company. However, the Companies Act, 2013, prohibits the issue of irredeemable preference shares.
Convertible Preference Shares: The holders of these shares have the option to convert their preference shares into equity shares within a specified period and according to the terms of issue.
Non-Convertible Preference Shares: These shares do not carry the right to be converted into equity shares.

Q14Question for Practice

Describe the provisions of law relating to 'Calls in Arrears' and 'Calls in Advance'.

Solution

The provisions relating to 'Calls in Arrears' and 'Calls in Advance' are generally governed by the company's Articles of Association. If the Articles are silent, the rules contained in Table F of the Companies Act, 2013, apply.

Calls in Arrears: This term refers to the amount that has been called up by the company on its shares but has not been paid by the shareholders by the due date.

Interest on Calls in Arrears: The Articles of Association can empower the directors to charge interest on the amount in arrears. If the Articles are silent, Table F provides that interest at a rate not exceeding 10% per annum can be charged for the period from the due date of payment to the actual date of payment.
Forfeiture of Shares: Non-payment of calls is a valid ground for the forfeiture of shares, provided the procedure laid down in the Articles is strictly followed.
Disclosure in Balance Sheet: Calls in Arrears are shown in the Notes to Accounts on Share Capital as a deduction from the 'Subscribed but not fully paid-up' capital.

Calls in Advance: This is the amount received from shareholders in excess of what has been called up. A company can accept this amount only if its Articles of Association authorize it.

Interest on Calls in Advance: Since the company has the use of this money before it is actually due, it is liable to pay interest on it. Table F provides for the payment of interest at a rate not exceeding 12% per annum for the period from the date of receipt of the advance to the date when the call is actually due.
No Dividend: Shareholders are not entitled to any dividend on the amount paid as calls in advance, as this amount is not part of the paid-up capital until the call is made.
Disclosure in Balance Sheet: Calls in Advance is shown on the Equity and Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet under the head 'Current Liabilities' and sub-head 'Other Current Liabilities'. It is not added to the paid-up capital.

Q15Question for Practice

Explain the terms 'Over subscription' and 'Under subscription'. How are they dealt with in accounting records?

Solution

Over subscription Oversubscription is a situation where a company receives applications for more shares than the number of shares it has offered to the public for subscription. This typically happens with financially strong and well-managed companies.

Dealing with Over subscription: Since the company cannot allot more shares than it has offered, the directors must decide on a basis for allotment. The common methods are:

Rejection of Excess Applications: Some applications are rejected, and their application money is refunded.
Pro-rata Allotment: All applicants are allotted shares proportionately.
Combination: A mix of the above two methods is used.

Accounting Treatment:

The total application money received is initially credited to the 'Share Application Account'.
Upon allotment, the application money for the allotted shares is transferred to the 'Share Capital Account'.
Application money for rejected applications is refunded by debiting the 'Share Application Account' and crediting the 'Bank Account'.
Excess application money from pro-rata allottees is adjusted towards their allotment dues by debiting 'Share Application Account' and crediting 'Share Allotment Account'.

Under subscription Under subscription is the opposite of oversubscription. It occurs when the number of shares applied for by the public is less than the number of shares offered by the company.

Dealing with Under subscription: In this case, the company can only allot the number of shares for which applications have been received. However, there is a crucial condition of 'Minimum Subscription'.

Minimum Subscription: According to SEBI guidelines, a company must receive a minimum subscription of 90% of the issued amount. If this condition is not met, the company cannot proceed with the allotment and must refund the entire application money received.

Accounting Treatment:

If the minimum subscription is received, all accounting entries for application, allotment, and calls are made based on the number of shares actually applied for and allotted. For example, if 10,000 shares were offered but applications were received for only 9,500 shares, all calculations and journal entries will be based on 9,500 shares.

Q16Question for Practice

Describe the purposes for which a company can use the amount of Securities Premium.

Solution

Securities Premium is the excess amount received by a company over the nominal or face value of its shares. This amount is credited to a separate account called 'Securities Premium Reserve Account' and is considered a capital receipt. Its use is restricted by Section 52(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.

A company can use the amount in the Securities Premium Reserve Account only for the following five specific purposes:

To issue fully paid bonus shares: A company can capitalize its profits by issuing fully paid bonus shares to its existing shareholders. The securities premium amount can be utilized for this purpose.
To write off preliminary expenses: Preliminary expenses are incurred at the time of the formation of a company. These expenses, being of a capital nature, can be written off against the securities premium reserve.
To write off expenses, commission, or discount on issue of securities: Any expenses incurred on the issue of shares or debentures, such as underwriting commission, brokerage, or discount allowed on the issue of debentures, can be written off using the securities premium amount.
To provide for the premium payable on redemption: If a company has issued redeemable preference shares or debentures at a premium on redemption, the premium payable at the time of redemption can be provided for out of the securities premium reserve.
For the purchase of its own shares (buy-back): A company can use the securities premium amount to buy back its own shares, subject to the fulfillment of conditions specified in the Act.

Q17Question for Practice

State clearly the conditions under which a company can issue shares at a discount.

Solution

As a general rule, Section 53 of the Companies Act, 2013, prohibits the issue of shares at a discount. A company cannot issue shares for a consideration less than their nominal or face value. Any issue of shares at a discount is considered void.

However, the Act provides for certain exceptions where shares can be issued at a discount:

1. Issue of Sweat Equity Shares: According to Section 54 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company can issue 'sweat equity shares' at a discount or for consideration other than cash. These are shares issued by a company to its directors or employees as a reward for their hard work or for providing know-how or intellectual property rights.

The conditions for issuing sweat equity shares are:

The issue must be of a class of shares already issued by the company.
It must be authorized by a special resolution passed by the company in its general meeting.
The resolution must specify the number of shares, the current market price, the consideration (if any), and the class of directors or employees to whom they are being issued.
At least one year must have elapsed since the date on which the company commenced its business.
If the company's shares are listed on a stock exchange, the issue must comply with SEBI regulations.

2. Reissue of Forfeited Shares: A company can reissue forfeited shares at a discount. However, the amount of discount allowed on the reissue cannot exceed the amount that was originally forfeited (i.e., the amount already paid by the original shareholder) on those shares. This is not a fresh issue of shares at a discount but rather a sale of shares held by the company itself.

Q18Question for Practice

Explain the term 'Forfeiture of Shares' and give the accounting treatment on forfeiture.

Solution

Forfeiture of Shares 'Forfeiture of Shares' means the cancellation of shares and the seizure of the amount already paid on them by the company due to non-payment of allotment money or any call money by the shareholder. This action can only be taken if the company's Articles of Association provide the authority to do so and if the prescribed legal procedure is strictly followed. It is a penalty imposed on the defaulting shareholder, who loses their membership in the company and the money they have already paid.

Accounting Treatment on Forfeiture The accounting treatment involves reversing the entries related to the forfeited shares to the extent they were credited to the Share Capital account. The amount already received from the shareholder is transferred to a 'Share Forfeiture Account'. The treatment varies depending on whether the shares were issued at par or at a premium.

1. Forfeiture of Shares Issued at Par: The journal entry is:

Particulars	Debit	Credit
Share Capital A/c Dr.	Called-up Amount
To Share Forfeiture A/c		Paid-up Amount
To Unpaid Calls A/c (e.g., Allotment, First Call)		Unpaid Amount

Share Capital A/c is debited with the called-up amount per share on the forfeited shares.
Share Forfeiture A/c is credited with the total amount actually received from the shareholder.
Unpaid Calls Accounts (or Calls in Arrears A/c) are credited with the amounts that were due but not paid.

2. Forfeiture of Shares Issued at a Premium:

Case (i): Premium has been received: If the premium amount has already been paid by the shareholder, the Securities Premium Reserve Account is not affected at the time of forfeiture. The entry is the same as for shares issued at par.
Case (ii): Premium has not been received: If the shareholder has defaulted on the payment that included the premium (e.g., allotment money), the premium is considered unrealized. The Securities Premium Reserve Account, which was credited when the premium became due, must now be debited to cancel the effect.

The journal entry is:

Particulars	Debit	Credit
Share Capital A/c Dr.	Called-up Amount (excluding premium)
Securities Premium Reserve A/c Dr.	Unpaid Premium Amount
To Share Forfeiture A/c		Paid-up Amount (excluding premium)
To Unpaid Calls A/c (e.g., Allotment, First Call)		Unpaid Amount

The balance in the Share Forfeiture Account is shown as an addition to the Paid-up Share Capital in the balance sheet until the shares are reissued.

Group (c): Applied 5,000, Allotted 2,000. Excess shares = 3,000. Excess money (3,000 x 3) = 9,000 (To be returned).
Total adjustment = 21,000 + 9,000 = 30,000.

Q26Question for Practice

Sumit Machine Ltd. issued 50,000 shares of Rs. 100 each at premium of 5%. The shares were payable Rs. 25 on application, Rs. 50 on allotment and Rs. 30 on first and final call. The issue was fully subscribed and money was duly received except the final call on 400 shares. The premium was adjusted on allotment. Give journal entries and prepare the balance sheet.

Solution

Note: The total of instalments is Rs. 25 + Rs. 50 + Rs. 30 = Rs. 105. The premium is 5% of Rs. 100, which is Rs. 5. It is assumed that the allotment money of Rs. 50 includes the premium of Rs. 5 (i.e., Rs. 45 for Capital + Rs. 5 for Premium).

Q30Question for Practice

Kishna Ltd. issued 15,000 shares of Rs. 100 each at a premium of Rs. 10 per share, payable as follows: On application Rs. 30 On allotment Rs. 50 [including premium] On first and final call Rs. 30 All the shares subscribed and the company received all the money due, with the exception of the allotment and call money on 150 shares. These shares were forfeited and reissued to Neha as fully paid share at an issue price of Rs. 12 each. Give journal entries in the books of the company.

Solution

Note: The reissue price is Rs. 12 per share, which is very low for a Rs. 100 share. It is highly likely a typo and should be Rs. 120 or similar. However, the solution will be based on the question as stated (Rs. 12 per share). This will result in a large loss on reissue.

Working Note (WN 1): Calculation of Amount Transferred to Capital Reserve

Total amount forfeited on 200 shares = Rs. 18,000
Amount forfeited per share = 18,000 / 200 = Rs. 90
Amount forfeited on 150 reissued shares = 150 x 90 = Rs. 13,500
Discount on reissue of 150 shares = 150 x (100 - 75) = 150 x 25 = Rs. 3,750
Profit on reissue transferred to Capital Reserve = Amount forfeited on reissued shares - Discount on reissue = 13,500 - 3,750 = Rs. 9,750

Working Notes:

Pro-rata ratio = Shares Allotted : Shares Applied = 6,000 : 8,000 = 3:4

WN 1: Rohit's Forfeiture

Shares allotted to Rohit = 300
Shares applied by Rohit = 300 x (4/3) = 400 shares
Application money paid = 400 x 20 = Rs. 8,000
Application money due on allotted shares = 300 x 20 = Rs. 6,000
Excess application money = 8,000 - 6,000 = Rs. 2,000
Allotment money due = 300 x 50 = Rs. 15,000
Amount unpaid on allotment = 15,000 - 2,000 = Rs. 13,000. Wait, the question text says Rohit failed to pay allotment money. The calculation shows this. Let's re-check the book's solution. The book solution for a similar problem (Illustration 14) has a different logic. Let me re-calculate based on the book's logic. Ah, no, the book's logic on Illustration 15 is what I am following. Let me recheck my calculation for allotment unpaid. Allotment due is 15,000. Excess application money is 2,000. So unpaid amount on allotment is 13,000. This is correct. The amount forfeited is only the application money paid, which is Rs. 8,000. Let's recheck the journal entry. Ah, I see a mistake in my journal entry for Rohit. The allotment amount is Rs. 50 (30 Capital + 20 Premium). Unpaid on allotment is Rs. 13,000. This is correct. Let me re-verify the answer from the book. The provided answer key is Rs. 15,500 for Capital Reserve. Let me re-calculate everything. Let's assume the question meant allotment money due was not adjusted. No, that's unlikely. Let's stick with the adjustment. Allotment Due: 300 * 50 = 15,000. Excess App Money: (400-300)20 = 2,000. Unpaid on Allotment: 15,000 - 2,000 = 13,000. Forfeited Amount (Rohit): 400 * 20 = 8,000. This seems correct. Let me re-check the example in the textbook. Ah, Illustration 15 has a similar scenario. Let's see how they calculated the unpaid allotment. Allotment money due on Chitnis's share 1,600 shares Rs. 5 per share = 8,000. Less excess application money paid (1,920 shares - 1,600 shares) 320 x 4 = 1,280. Allotment amount due from Chitnis = 6,720. My calculation is correct. Let me check the provided answer key again (Answer: Capital Reserve = Rs.15,500). There seems to be a discrepancy. Let's re-calculate Itika. Itika applied 600 shares, allotted = 600 * 3/4 = 450 shares. She paid App (60020 = 12,000) and Allotment. Allotment due on 450 shares = 450 * 50 = 22,500. Excess app money = (600-450)20 = 3,000. Allotment money paid = 22,500 - 3,000 = 19,500. Total paid by Itika = 12,000 (app) + 19,500 (allot) = 31,500. Forfeited Amount (Itika) = 31,500. Now, total forfeited = 8,000 (Rohit) + 31,500 (Itika) = 39,500. Loss on reissue = 750 * 20 = 15,000. Capital Reserve = 39,500 - 15,000 = 24,500. This is not matching the answer key. Let me re-read Itika's default. 'failed to pay the two calls'. This means she paid allotment. So my calculation for Itika is correct. Total amount paid by Itika (excluding premium) = App (45020) + Allot (450*30) = 9000 + 13500 = 22,500. Forfeited amount should not include premium received. Let's re-calculate. Amount forfeited (Rohit) = Rs. 8,000 (only application money). Amount forfeited (Itika): She paid application and allotment. Premium on allotment was paid. So forfeited amount is only the capital portion. App (450 * 20) + Allot (450 * 30) = 9,000 + 13,500 = 22,500. Total forfeited = 8,000 + 22,500 = 30,500. Loss on reissue = 15,000. Capital Reserve = 30,500 - 15,000 = 15,500. This matches the answer key. So the logic is correct now.

Corrected Working Notes:

Pro-rata ratio = 6,000 : 8,000 = 3:4

WN 1: Rohit's Forfeiture (Allotted 300 shares)

Shares applied = 300 x 4/3 = 400 shares
Application money paid = 400 x 20 = Rs. 8,000. This is the amount forfeited.
Allotment due = 300 x 50 = Rs. 15,000
Excess application money adjusted = (400 - 300) x 20 = Rs. 2,000
Unpaid on Allotment = 15,000 - 2,000 = Rs. 13,000
Since allotment money (which includes premium) was not paid, Securities Premium Reserve must be debited.

WN 2: Itika's Forfeiture (Applied 600 shares)

Shares allotted = 600 x 3/4 = 450 shares
Itika paid application and allotment but failed to pay the two calls.
Since premium on allotment was received, it will not be part of the forfeiture entry.
Amount forfeited (capital portion only) = Amount paid on Application (450 x 20) + Amount paid on Allotment (450 x 30) = 9,000 + 13,500 = Rs. 22,500

WN 3: Transfer to Capital Reserve

Total amount forfeited on 750 reissued shares = 8,000 (from Rohit) + 22,500 (from Itika) = Rs. 30,500
Discount on reissue = 750 shares x (100 - 80) = 750 x 20 = Rs. 15,000
Amount transferred to Capital Reserve = 30,500 - 15,000 = Rs. 15,500

Working Notes:

Pro-rata ratio = 20,000 : 30,000 = 2:3

WN 1: Mohit's Forfeiture (Allotted 400 shares)

Shares applied = 400 x 3/2 = 600 shares
Application money paid = 600 x 2 = Rs. 1,200. This is the amount forfeited.
Allotment due = 400 x 5 = Rs. 2,000
Excess application money = (600 - 400) x 2 = Rs. 400
Unpaid on Allotment = 2,000 - 400 = Rs. 1,600

WN 2: Joly's Forfeiture (Allotted 600 shares)

Joly paid Application and Allotment. Premium was received.
Amount forfeited (capital portion) = App (600 x 2) + Allot (600 x 2) = 1,200 + 1,200 = Rs. 2,400

WN 3: Transfer to Capital Reserve

Reissued shares = 800 (400 of Mohit + 400 of Joly)
Amount forfeited on Mohit's 400 shares = Rs. 1,200
Amount forfeited on Joly's 600 shares = Rs. 2,400. Forfeited per share = 2400/600 = Rs. 4
Amount forfeited on 400 of Joly's shares = 400 x 4 = Rs. 1,600
Total forfeited on 800 reissued shares = 1,200 + 1,600 = Rs. 2,800
Discount on reissue = 800 x (10 - 9) = Rs. 800
Capital Reserve = 2,800 - 800 = Rs. 2,000

Solution

Working Notes:

Allotment Scheme:
- Total Issue: 4,00,000 shares
- Total Applications: 5,00,000 shares
- Category I (Rejected): Applied 20,000 -> Allotted Nil
- Category II (Full): Applied 80,000 -> Allotted 80,000
- Category III (Pro-rata): Applied (5,00,000 - 20,000 - 80,000) = 4,00,000. Allotted (4,00,000 - 80,000) = 3,20,000. Ratio = 3,20,000 : 4,00,000 = 4:5
Defaulter (Allotted 400 shares from Pro-rata category):
- Shares applied = 400 x 5/4 = 500 shares
- Application money paid = 500 x 5 = Rs. 2,500
- Application money due on allotted shares = 400 x 5 = Rs. 2,000
- Excess application money = 2,500 - 2,000 = Rs. 500
- Allotment money due = 400 x 3 = Rs. 1,200
- Unpaid on Allotment = 1,200 - 500 = Rs. 700
- Amount forfeited = Application money paid = Rs. 2,500
Transfer to Capital Reserve:
- Amount forfeited on 400 shares = Rs. 2,500
- Discount on reissue = 400 x (10 - 9) = Rs. 400
- Capital Reserve = 2,500 - 400 = Rs. 2,100

Q38Question for Practice

Ashoka Limited Company which had issued equity shares of Rs. 20 each at a premium of Rs. 4 per share, forfeited 1,000 shares for non-payment of final call of Rs. 2 per share. 400 of the forfeited shares were reissued at Rs. 14 per share out of the remaining shares of 200 shares reissued at Rs. 20 per share. Give journal entries for the forfeiture and reissue of shares and show the amount transferred to capital reserve and the balance in Share Forfeiture Account.

Solution

Working Notes:

Amount Forfeited per share:
- Issue Price = Rs. 20 (Capital) + Rs. 4 (Premium) = Rs. 24
- Unpaid Amount = Rs. 2 (Final Call)
- Amount Paid = Rs. 24 - Rs. 2 = Rs. 22
- Amount Forfeited (Capital portion) = Rs. 20 (Total Capital) - Rs. 2 (Unpaid Capital on final call) = Rs. 18
Transfer to Capital Reserve:
- On first reissue of 400 shares:
  - Amount forfeited on 400 shares = 400 x 18 = Rs. 7,200
  - Discount on reissue = 400 x (20 - 14) = 400 x 6 = Rs. 2,400
  - Capital Reserve = 7,200 - 2,400 = Rs. 4,800
- On second reissue of 200 shares:
  - Amount forfeited on 200 shares = 200 x 18 = Rs. 3,600
  - Discount on reissue = 200 x (20 - 20) = Rs. 0
  - Capital Reserve = 3,600 - 0 = Rs. 3,600
- Total amount transferred to Capital Reserve = 4,800 + 3,600 = Rs. 8,400
Balance in Share Forfeiture Account:
- Total shares forfeited = 1,000
- Total shares reissued = 400 + 200 = 600
- Shares not yet reissued = 1,000 - 600 = 400
- Balance in Share Forfeiture A/c = 400 shares x Rs. 18 (forfeited amount per share) = Rs. 7,200

Working Notes:

WN 1: Calculation of Amount Forfeited

From Amit: 100 shares x Re. 1 = Rs. 100
From Bimal: 200 shares x (Re. 1 + Rs. 2) = 200 x 3 = Rs. 600
From Chetan: 300 shares x (Re. 1 + Rs. 2 + Rs. 3) = 300 x 6 = Rs. 1,800
Total Amount Forfeited = 100 + 600 + 1,800 = Rs. 2,500

WN 2: Calculation of Calls in Arrears

Total Called-up Capital on forfeited shares = 600 x 10 = Rs. 6,000
Total Amount Paid (Forfeited) = Rs. 2,500
Total Calls in Arrears = 6,000 - 2,500 = Rs. 3,500

Amount payable on application Rs. 40 ; on allotment Rs. 40 (Including premium): on first call Rs. 25 and second and final call Rs. 15. Applications were received for 50,000 shares and allotment was made on pro-rata basis. Excess money on application was adjusted against the sums due on allotment.

Working Notes:

Pro-rata ratio = 40,000 : 50,000 = 4:5

WN 1: Rohit's Forfeiture (Allotted 600 shares)

Shares applied = 600 x 5/4 = 750 shares
Application money paid = 750 x 40 = Rs. 30,000. This is the amount forfeited.
Allotment due = 600 x 40 = Rs. 24,000
Excess application money = (750 - 600) x 40 = Rs. 6,000
Allotment money due after adjustment = 24,000 - 6,000 = Rs. 18,000. Wait, the excess application money is (750-600) * 40 = 6000. Allotment due is 24000. Unpaid is 18000. Let me check the answer key. Capital Reserve Rs. 48,000. My calculation for forfeited amount is 30,000. Let's recheck the question. Allotment Rs. 40 (including premium). So Rs. 20 capital and Rs. 20 premium. Called-up capital at forfeiture is Application (40) + Allotment (20) = Rs. 60. My journal entry debit to capital is 600*40=24,000. This is wrong. It should be Rs. 60. Let me recalculate. Called-up capital = Rs. 40 (App) + Rs. 20 (Allot capital) = Rs. 60. Debit to Share Capital = 600 x 60 = 36,000. Debit to SPR = 600 x 20 = 12,000. Unpaid on Allotment = 18,000. Forfeited Amount = 30,000. So 36000+12000 = 48000. 30000+18000=48000. This seems correct. Forfeited amount is Rs. 30,000.

WN 2: Ashmita's Forfeiture (Applied 1,000 shares)

Shares allotted = 1,000 x 4/5 = 800 shares
Amount paid (capital portion): App (800x40) + Allot (800x20) = 32,000 + 16,000 = Rs. 48,000. This is the amount forfeited.

WN 3: Transfer to Capital Reserve

Reissued shares = 1,200 (600 of Rohit + 600 of Ashmita)
Amount forfeited on Rohit's 600 shares = Rs. 30,000
Amount forfeited on Ashmita's 800 shares = Rs. 48,000. Per share = 48000/800 = Rs. 60.
Amount forfeited on 600 of Ashmita's shares = 600 x 60 = Rs. 36,000
Total forfeited on 1,200 reissued shares = 30,000 + 36,000 = Rs. 66,000
Discount on reissue = 1,200 x (100 - 85) = 1,200 x 15 = Rs. 18,000
Capital Reserve = 66,000 - 18,000 = Rs. 48,000. This matches the answer key.
