What is the minimum amount per share at which the company can reissue these shares?

Answer in Brief
Numerical

Solution

The maximum discount that the company can give at the reissue of forfeited shares = The amount received on the first issue of those shares

Amount received on first issue of those shares = 50 × (100 − (20 + 40)) = 50 × 40 = ₹ 2,000

The maximum discount that can be allowed on reissue = ₹ 2,000

Maximum discount per share will be = `(2,000)/50` = ₹ 40 per share

The minimum amount per share at which the company can reissue these share

= Face value − Maximum discount

= 100 − 40

= ₹ 60 per share
