Working Notes:
Forfeited amount of Paresh’s 3,000 reissued shares = 20,000 ÷ 5,000 × 3,000 = ₹12,000.
Forfeited amount of Dharam’s 2,000 reissued shares = 21,000 ÷ 3,000 × 2,000 = ₹14,000.
Total forfeited amount on reissued shares = 12,000 + 14,000 = ₹26,000.
Amount transferred to Capital Reserve = Total forfeited amount − discount on reissue = 26,000 − 10,000 = ₹16,000.
