The correct answer is Subjective. **Journal Entries in the books of Hira Ltd.** | Date | Particulars | L.F. | Dr. Amount (₹) | Cr. Amount (₹) | |---|---|---|---|---| | (i) | Bank A/c Dr. To Equity Share Application A/c *(Application money received on 1,40,000 shares @ ₹3)* | | 4,20,000 | 4,20,000 | | (ii) | Equity Share Application A/c Dr. To Equity Share Capital A/c ($1,00,000 	imes 3$) To Equity Share Allotment A/c *(Application money transferred and excess adjusted)* | | 4,20,000 | 3,00,000 1,20,000 | | (iii)| Equity Share Allotment A/c Dr. To Equity Share Capital A/c ($1,00,000 	imes 2$) To Securities Premium A/c ($1,00,000 	imes 1$) *(Allotment money due on 1,00,000 shares @ ₹3)* | | 3,00,000 | 2,00,000 1,00,000 | | (iv) | Bank A/c Dr. Calls-in-Arrears A/c Dr. To Equity Share Allotment A/c *(Allotment money received)* | | 1,78,200 1,800 | 1,80,000 | | (v) | Equity Share Capital A/c Dr. ($1,000 	imes 5$) Securities Premium A/c Dr. ($1,000 	imes 1$) To Share Forfeiture A/c To Calls-in-Arrears A/c *(1,000 shares forfeited)* | | 5,000 1,000 | 4,200 1,800 | | (vi) | Bank A/c Dr. ($1,000 	imes 4$) Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. ($1,000 	imes 1$) To Equity Share Capital A/c ($1,000 	imes 5$) *(Reissue of 1,000 shares at ₹4 per share, ₹5 paid up)* | | 4,000 1,000 | 5,000 | | (vii)| Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. To Capital Reserve A/c *(Gain on reissue transferred)* | | 3,200 | 3,200 | **Working Notes:** 1. Pro-rata ratio = 1,40,000 applied : 1,00,000 allotted = 7:5. Defaulter allotted 1,000 shares. Applied = $1,000 	imes 7/5 = 1,400$ shares. Excess app money = $(1,400 - 1,000) 	imes 3 = ₹1,200$. 2. Allotment due from defaulter = $1,000 	imes 3 = ₹3,000$. Calls in Arrears = $3,000 - 1,200 = ₹1,800$. 3. Total allotment received = $3,00,000 	ext{ (due)} - 1,20,000 	ext{ (adjusted)} - 1,800 	ext{ (arrears)} = ₹1,78,200$. 4. Since the excess app money (₹1,200) does not fully cover the share capital portion of allotment (₹2,000), the premium of ₹1,000 remains unpaid and is debited on forfeiture.
