Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shares Question 1 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is 2,800
Key Points Calls-in-arrears:
- "Calls-in-arrears" refers to an amount that has been called in respect of a share, but has not been paid before or on the specified date set for payment.
- The term "call in arrears" refers to any default in payment on a specified date.
Important Points Calculation of calls-in-arrears
For X holding 500 shares
X has not paid the first call and final call amount
Therefore,
Call is arrears = (Number of shares held by X) x (Per share first call rate + Per share final call rate)
Call is arrears = 500 x (2 + 2) = Rs. 2000
For Y holding 400 shares
Y has not paid only final call amount
Therefore,
Call is arrears = (Number of shares held by Y) x (Per share final call rate)
Call is arrears = 400 x 2 = Rs. 800
Total Amount of calls in arrears = 2000 + 800 = 2800.

Important Points
Particulars | ₹ |
Application money received = 10,000x3 = | 30,000 |
Application money for 4000 shares = 4,000x3 = | 12,000 |
Excess money = Rs. 30,000-12,000 = | 18,000 |
Adjustment for Allotment money = 4,000x2 = | 8,000 |
Adjustment for first call money = 18,000 - Rs. 8,000 = | 10,000 |
First Call money due = 4,000x 4= | 16,000 |
Amount received in first call = Rs. 16,000-Rs. 10,000 = |

Shares allotted to Mr. Kumar will be ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shares Question 5 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is 80.
Key PointsPro-rata Allotment : Pro-rata allotment refers to the distribution of shares in proportion to the number of shares applied for. When a company makes a pro-rata allotment, it first applies the excess money received at the time of application to the allotment and then to call. Pro-rata allotment is done in case of oversubscription of shares.
Formula to calculate Allotted shares = Shares applied x Allotted shares/ Applied shares
Important PointsRatio of pro rata allotment = 15,000:10,000 = 3:2
Hence, an applicant for 3 shares will receive 2 shares.
Mr. Kumar had applied for 120 shares, shares allotted to Mr. Kumar = 120 x 10,000/15,000 = 80 shares.
Shares Question 6:
A Ltd. has a share capital of 5,000 equity shares of Rs. 100 each having a market value of Rs. 150 per share. The company wants to raise additional funds of Rs. 1,20,000 and offers to the existing shareholders the right to apply for a new share at Rs. 120 for every five share held. What would be the value of right?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shares Question 6 Detailed Solution
Right offering:
- A rights offering is when a company issues to its existing shareholders a right to buy additional shares in the company.
- The company offers its shareholder a specific number of shares at a special price.
- The company will also set a time limit for the shareholder to buy these shares.
- The shares are often offered at a discounted price to the existing shareholders.
- In a rights offering, the subscription price at which each share may be offered is generally at a discount to the current market price.
- Rights are often transferable, allowing the holder to sell them in the open market.
Number Of Right Shares: 1
Total Shares= Existing + New share = 5+1= 6
Value Of Right = (Number Of Right Shares / Total Shares) x (Market Value - Issue Price)
Value Of Right = (1/6) x (150-120)
∴ Value Of Right = 0.166667 x 30
∴ Value Of Right = Rs. 5
Alternatively,
Market Value Of 5 Existing Holdings = Rs. 150 x 5 = Rs. 750
Add: Issue Price Of 1 New Holding = Rs. 120 x 1 = Rs. 120
∴ Value Of Total Holdings = 750 + 120 = Rs. 870
Value Of Each Share = 870/6 = Rs. 145
Value Of Right = Market Price - Average Price
Value Of Right = 150 - 145
∴Value Of Right = Rs. 5
Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
