Tree limited forfeited 500 shares of Rs.20 each issued at 5% discount, for non payment of allotment and final call of Rs.9 and Rs.5 respectively. Amount credited to share forfeiture A/c will be a) 3,500      b) 2,500    c) 3,000     d) 4,000

Total amount already received on forfeited shares will be credited to share forfeited account.
.
No. of forfeited shares = 500
.
Issued at discount = Rs. (20 - 1) = Rs. 19 [Discount on shares = 20 X 5% = Rs. 1]
.
Amount received up to the time of forfeiture
.
= Issue price - Non payment of allotment and final call
.
= Rs. (19-9-5) = Rs. 5
.
Amount to be credited to share forfeited a/c = 500 Shares X Rs. 5 = Rs. 2,500

but wont the discount amt of Rs.500 be considered???

When shares are issued at a discount, the discount account is debited. Therefore, at the time of forfeiture of such shares, discount account will be credited to cancel it.

Alternatively, instead of Calls-in-arrear A/c you can also credit Allotment or Calls Account.
