Mayfair ltd. forfeited 2,000 shares of rs.10 each, rs.7 called up, on which only rs. 4 per share (including rs.2 premium) and rs.2 per share on first call has not been paid. Out of these 500 shares were re-issued as fully paid that rs. 750 was transferred to capital reserve. On re issue, how much amount will be transferred to bank?

Final answer:

The amount that would be transferred to the bank upon re-issuing the shares can be calculated by multiplying the number of shares re-issued by the re-issue price. Because the re-issue price is not provided, an example calculation used an assumed re-issue price of Rs.6 per share, resulting in Rs.3,000 transferred to the bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mayfair Ltd. forfeited 2,000 shares of Rs.10 each, which had Rs.7 called up. The default was on the payment of Rs.4 per share (including Rs.2 premium) and a further Rs.2 which was not paid on the first call. When 500 of these forfeited shares were re-issued as fully paid, Rs.750 was transferred to the capital reserve.

To calculate the amount transferred to the bank upon re-issue of the 500 shares, we need to consider the re-issue price and the called-up amount.

Let's say the shares are re-issued for Rs.6 per share (Rs.7 called up, and re-issued at a discounted price).
Amount to be transferred to bank = Number of shares re-issued × Re-issue price
Amount to be transferred to bank = 500 shares × Rs.6 (assumed re-issue price)
Amount to be transferred to bank = Rs.3,000

This calculation assumes that Rs.3,000 will be realized from the re-issuance (500 shares at Rs.6 each). However, as the question does not provide the re-issue price, the exact amount cannot be determined without this information. The calculation provided is an example should the shares be re-issued at Rs.6 per share.

Final answer:

The amount transferred to the bank for the re-issued shares will be calculated based on the re-issue price. Assuming a re-issue price of Rs.6 per share for 500 shares, the total transferred to the bank would be Rs.3,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mayfair Ltd. forfeited 2,000 shares of Rs.10 each, where Rs.7 was called up and only Rs.4 per share was paid, with Rs.2 per share on the first call unpaid. After forfeiture, 500 shares were re-issued as fully paid, and Rs.750 was transferred to the capital reserve. The amount that will be transferred to the bank upon re-issue of these 500 shares can be calculated by considering the re-issue price.

Let's assume the 500 shares are re-issued at Rs.6 per share, where Rs.7 was called up. Now, for re-issued shares, here's the calculation:


  • Re-issue price per share: Rs.6

  • Number of re-issued shares: 500

  • Total amount received for re-issued shares = 500 shares * Rs.6/share = Rs.3,000

Therefore, the amount transferred to the bank on re-issue will be Rs.3,000.
