Hint: Face value of each share is ₹100. When Kirloskar Ltd. issued the shares originally, it was able to
secure only ₹40 per share (on application and allotment). Thus, when company re-issues these shares,
it will be looking to secure minimum ₹60 per share more. Hence, the maximum amount that company
can allow as discount is ₹40 per share so that it can get at least ₹60 per share. Thus, 400 shares are re-
issued at price of ₹60 per share.
11. Geetanjali Ltd. forfeited 1,600 shares of ₹10 each issued at 20% premium (to be paid at the time of allotment)
on which allotment money of ₹5 (including premium) and first call money of ₹2 was not received; the final
