Here's how we can solve this problem step-by-step:
1. Calculate the total number of shares applied for:
The issue was oversubscribed three times, meaning applications were received for three times the number of shares offered. Therefore, the total number of applications received was 50,000 shares * 3 = 150,000 shares.
2. Determine the allotment:
Only 50,000 shares were to be issued. Applications for 150,000 shares were received. Therefore, the allotment will be done pro-rata based on the number of shares applied for.
The allotment ratio would be 50,000 shares / 150,000 applications = 1/3
This means that for every 3 shares applied for, only 1 share will be allotted.
3. Calculate the allotment for 30,000 applications:
An applicant who applied for 30,000 shares will receive 30,000 shares * (1/3) = 10,000 shares.
4. Calculate the amount payable:
5. Total amount payable:
Total amount payable by the applicant is Rs. 20,000 + Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 100,000
Therefore, an applicant who applied for 30,000 shares will be allotted 10,000 shares and will have to pay a total of Rs. 100,000.
