Question - On 1 July 2021, Ipswich Ltd was incorporated, and on 4 July a prospectus was issued inviting applications for 4,000 shares payable $4.50 on application, $2.50 on allotment and $2.50 on each of two calls to be made at intervals of 3 months after the date of allotment. By 31 July, applications were received for 4,800 shares. On 3 August, the directors allotted 4,000 shares to the applicants in proportion to the number of shares for which application had been made.
