Solution

To answer this question, we need to follow the given information step by step.

  1. The company forfeited 3,000 shares of ₹10 each, on which only ₹5 per share (including ₹1 premium) has been paid. This means that the shareholders have only paid ₹5 per share out of the total ₹10.

  2. Out of these forfeited shares, a few were re-issued at a discount of ₹1 per share. This means that these re-issued shares were sold at a price of ₹4 per share.

  3. ₹6,000 were transferred to Capital Reserve. This indicates that the company received ₹6,000 from the re-issued shares.

Now, let's calculate the number of shares that were re-issued:

Amount received from re-issued shares = Number of re-issued shares * Re-issue price per share ₹6,000 = Number of re-issued shares * ₹4

To find the number of re-issued shares, we can rearrange the equation:

Number of re-issued shares = ₹6,000 / ₹4 Number of re-issued shares = 1,500 shares

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 1,500 shares.
