Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. Uncalled amount on shares.
When equity shares are forfeited, the amount that is not paid by the shareholder is called the uncalled amount. This amount is debited to the capital account. The face value of the share is the amount that is printed on the share certificate. The prepaid amount of shares is the amount that is paid by the shareholder in advance. The called amount on shares is the amount that is payable by the shareholder on the shares.
