Cancellation of called-up capital requires debiting Share Capital Account. Clearing uncollected call balances requires crediting Calls-in-Arrears Account. Applying a discount on re-issue requires debiting Forfeited Shares Account up to the forfeited amount. Transferring the net capital profit requires crediting Capital Reserve Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the journal entries required upon forfeiture of shares
Debit Share Capital Account with total called-up amount; Credit Calls-in-Arrears Account with unpaid amount; Credit Forfeited Shares Account with amount already paid.
Forfeiture requires reducing the called-up share capital while clearing the unpaid arrears.
2
Analyze the journal entries required upon re-issue of forfeited shares at a discount
Debit Bank Account with cash received; Debit Forfeited Shares Account with the discount offered; Credit Share Capital Account with nominal/paid-up value.
The loss or discount on re-issue is absorbed by the forfeited money accumulated in the Forfeited Shares Account.
3
Determine the accounting treatment for the final net profit on re-issue
Debit Forfeited Shares Account and Credit Capital Reserve Account with the remaining surplus.
The net remaining balance of forfeited money after absorbing any re-issue discount constitutes a capital profit.
