Alfa Ltd. invited applications for issuing 75,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. The amount was payable as follows:
On application and allotment Rs 4 per share. On first call Rs 3 per share. On second and final call balance.
Application for 1,00,000 shares were received. Shares were allotted to all the applicants on pro-rata basis and excess money received with applications was transferred towards sums due on first call. Vibha who was allotted 750 shares failed to pay the first call. Her shares were immediately forfeited. Afterwards, the second call was made. The amount due on second call was also received except on 1000 shares, applied by Monika. Her shares were also forfeited. All the forfeited shares were re-issued to Mohit for Rs 9,000 as fully paid up.
Pass necessary journal entries in the books of Alfa Ltd. for the above transactions.


Solution




Working Note:
Calculation of amount not received on first call:
Shares applied by Vibha:
(1,00,000/75,000)* 750 = 1,000 shares
Amount received on 1,000 shares @ Rs 4 each = 4000 Rs
Amount transferred to share capital a/c (750*4) = 3000 Rs
Excess application and allotment money received = 1000 Rs
Amount due on first call @ Rs 3 each:  2250 Rs
Amount not received on first call = 1,250 Rs (2250-1000)

 

Calculation of amount not received on second call:
Shares allotted to Monika = (75,000/1,00,000)* 1000 = 750 shares
Amount not received on second call = Rs 2250 (750*3)
