Read the passage given below and answer the questions: K Ltd. invited applications on 3,000 Equity Shares of ₹100 each at a premium of ₹20. For application ₹50, on allotment ₹50, and on final call ₹20. Application also includes premium amount. Total applications received 4,000 and allotted on pro-rata basis and excess amount adjusted towards allotment. One shareholder holding 600 shares did not pay allotment money but paid it with the final call that was made after 2 months of allotment. Final call amount received in full.
Calculate the amount adjusted in share allotment account.
₹50,000
Total application money received = 4,000 shares × ₹50 = ₹2,00,000.
Shares allotted = 3,000, so application money required = 3,000 × ₹50 = ₹1,50,000.
Excess application money = ₹2,00,000 - ₹1,50,000 = ₹50,000 (adjusted towards allotment).
