A companys capital consists of 100 000 ordinary shares issued at $2 and paid to $1 per share.

On 1 September, a first call of 50c was made on the ordinary shares. By 30 September, the call money received amounted to $45 000. No further payments were received, and on 31 October, the shares on which calls were outstanding were forfeited. On 15 November, the forfeited shares were reissued as paid to $1.50 for a payment of $1 per share. The appropriate cash amount from the reissue was received on 19 November. Costs of reissue amounted to $2 500. The companys constitution provided for any surplus on resale, after satisfaction of unpaid calls, accrued interest and costs, to be returned to the shareholders whose shares were forfeited.
