30 October 2011 HI, the answer to ur question is :
GIven, called up capital = Rs. 75 per share
unpaid capital = 25 allotmt + 25 call = Rs.50
Therefore, paid up capital = 75 - 50 =25 p.s.
upon forfeiture, this amount is not refunded back to the shareholder, hence it can be treated as initial profit.
Discount on reissue = Rs. 10 (75 - 65)
Final profit for co. upon reissue = 25 - 10
= Rs. 15 per share reissued
No. of shares reissued = 150
Amt. to be transf. to CR = 150 x Rs. 15
= Rs. 2,250
