    Solution

    In case of forfeiture of shares, the Share Capital Account will be debited with the called-up value of shares forfeited. The called up value in this case = Rs.8 As such the total amount to be debited is Rs.8*200 shares = Rs.1600 Note: The forfeited shares amount = Rs.6*200 = Rs.1200 (i.e. the amount paid by the shareholder), while Rs.400 (Rs.2*200 shares) will be the amount calls in arrears i.e. not paid.
