Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Applications retained for pro-rata allotment = 1,10,000 - 20,000 = 90,000 shares.Shares allotted = 40,000 shares.Application money received on 90,000 shares = 90,000 3 = 2,70,000.Application money transferred to share capital = 40,000 3 = 1,20,000.Excess application money adjusted on allotment = 2,70,000 - 1,20,000 = 1,50,000.Allotment money due on 40,000 shares = 40,000 4 = 1,60,000.Amount received on allotment = 1,60,000 - 1,50,000 (adjusted) = Rs. 10,000.
