Doubt on Re-Issue and ForFeiture in the Middle of a Call

Bareli Ltd. has been incorporated with authorized capital of Rs.6.00.000 divided into 60,000 shares of Rs. 10 each . It offers its 50,000 shares for public subscriptttttttion on the following conditions : Application - Rs. 3 per share , 1st Call - Rs. 2 per share , Allotment - Rs. 2 per share and 2nd Call (Final Call too) - Rs. 3 per share . Company received all the  application amount but when allotment is made a shareholder could not pay on his holdings of 200 shares and directors forfeited his shares immediately . After 1st call 150 from the forfeited share reissued for Rs.6 per share . Final call also made on share and duly received . You are required to pass necessary journal entries lor the transactions took place .

 

In this Question , at the time of reissue why 150*7 will be the share capital , why not 150*(7+3) ?

Why 200*(3+2) will be the called up share capital for forfeiture , not 200*10 ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses common queries regarding share re-issue and forfeiture journal entries. It clarifies why the share capital amount for reissue is calculated based on the reissue price per share, not the total amount received. It also explains that the called-up share capital for forfeiture is the amount actually demanded, not the nominal value of the shares. The provided journal entries illustrate these concepts in practice.
