Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

- A total of ₹ 10 per share has been called up on 1,000 shares, resulting in a fully called-up amount. - ₹ 2 per share was forfeited due to the final call remaining unpaid, leading to a total forfeited amount of ₹ 2 × 1,000 = ₹ 2,000. - For the 800 shares that were reissued at ₹ 11 per share: - The reissue generated ₹ 11 × 800 = ₹ 8,800. - The paid-up value for these 800 shares was ₹ 10 × 800 = ₹ 8,000. - The difference of ₹ 8,800 - ₹ 8,000 represents the premium received, which is distinct from the Capital Reserve. - The Capital Reserve is derived from the forfeited amount pertaining to the 800 reissued shares: \[ Forfeited Amount on 800 Shares = ₹ 2 × 800 = ₹ 1,600. \] \[ Capital Reserve = ₹ 6,400. \]
