A company came out with an issue of 1000 shares at Price Band of ₹300-360. The minimum lot size is 50. The company received the following bids: Bid Number of Shares Bid Bid Price Per Share (₹) 1 250 360 2 250 355 3 100 3

Allotment under Book Building Process (Final Issue Price ₹300): Since the final issue price is ₹300, all bids at or above ₹300 are eligible for allotment. The total number of shares to be issued is 1000. The minimum lot size is 50. First, we sum up the total shares bid by eligible applicants: Bid 1: 250 shares @ ₹360 Bid 2: 250 shares @ ₹355 Bid 3: 100 shares @ ₹350 Bid 4: 450 shares @ ₹360 Bid 5: 150 shares @ ₹330 Bid 6: 250 shares @ ₹320 Bid 7: 150 shares @ ₹300 Total shares bid = 250 + 250 + 100 + 450 + 150 + 250 + 150 = 1600 shares. The total demand (1600 shares) exceeds the issue size (1000 shares). Allotment will be done on a proportionate basis to all eligible bidders, ensuring each bidder receives at least the minimum lot size of 50 shares. Proportionate Allotment Calculation: Proportionate factor = Total shares to be allotted / Total shares bid = 1000 / 1600 = 0.625 However, the provided solution uses a different calculation (650/1250) which implies a different interpretation of the total shares bid or total shares to be allotted. Let's follow the provided solution's logic for the calculation, assuming 'Prop. Shares' refers to the proportionate allotment based on a factor of 650/1250, which might be a simplified or rounded factor used in the context of the solution. Let's re-evaluate based on the provided solution's table, which seems to imply a total of 1250 shares bid and 650 shares allotted proportionally, and then minimum lot size is added to reach the total of 1000 shares. Revised Allotment Logic (based on provided solution's calculation): The solution table shows 'Prop. Shares' calculated using a factor of 650/1250. This suggests that 650 shares are allotted proportionally, and then the minimum lot size of 50 shares is added to each applicant, or there's a different interpretation of the total shares available for proportional allotment. Let's assume the total shares to be allotted is 1000, and the minimum lot size is 50. The solution's calculation of 'Prop. Shares' seems to be based on a total proportional allotment of 650 shares, and then adding the minimum 50 shares to each, or a similar mechanism. Let's follow the solution's calculation directly: Bid Minimum (Shares) Prop. Shares (calculated as Bid Shares * 650/1250) Total Allotted Shares 1 50 250 * (650/1250) = 130 50 + 130 = 180 2 50 250 * (650/1250) = 130 50 + 130 = 180 3 50 100 * (650/1250) = 52 50 + 52 = 102 4 50 450 * (650/1250) = 234 50 + 234 = 284 5 50 150 * (650/1250) = 78 50 + 78 = 128 6 50 250 * (650/1250) = 130 50 + 130 = 180 7 50 150 * (650/1250) = 78 50 + 78 = 128 Total 350 832 1182 The provided solution's table is as follows: Bid Minimum Prop. Shares Total 1. 50 200 x 650/1250 = 104 154 2. 50 200 x 650/1250 = 104 154 3. 50 50 x 650/1250 = 26 76 4. 50 400 x 650/1250 = 208 258 5. 50 100 x 650/1250 = 52 102 6. 50 200 x 650/1250 = 104 154 7. 50 1000 x 650/1250 = 52 102 350 650 1,000 Explanation of the provided solution's table: It appears the solution has re-interpreted the 'Number of Shares Bid' for some bidders or used a different set of bids for the proportional calculation. Let's assume the 'Number of Shares Bid' in the question is correct, and the solution's 'Prop. Shares' calculation is based on a total of 1250 shares bid and 650 shares allotted proportionally, and then the 'Minimum' shares (50 per bidder) are added to reach the 'Total' allotted shares of 1000. Let's verify the 'Prop. Shares' column in the solution: Bid 1: 250 shares bid. Solution uses 200 * (650/1250) = 104. This implies the bid quantity for proportional allotment is considered as 200, not 250. Bid 3: 100 shares bid. Solution uses 50 * (650/1250) = 26. This implies the bid quantity for proportional allotment is considered as 50, not 100. Bid 4: 450 shares bid. Solution uses 400 * (650/1250) = 208. This implies the bid quantity for proportional allotment is considered as 400, not 450. Bid 5: 150 shares bid. Solution uses 100 * (650/1250) = 52. This implies the bid quantity for proportional allotment is considered as 100, not 150. Bid 7: 150 shares bid. Solution uses 1000 * (650/1250) = 52. This is clearly a typo, it should be 150 * (650/1250) = 78. Given the discrepancies, I will present the solution as provided in the source, assuming there might be an underlying rule or adjustment not explicitly stated in the question text, or a typo in the question's bid quantities as interpreted by the solution. Allotment Details (as per provided solution): Bid Minimum Allotment (Shares) Proportional Allotment (Shares) Total Allotted Shares 1 50 104 154 2 50 104 154 3 50 26 76 4 50 208 258 5 50 52 102 6 50 104 154 7 50 52 102 Total 350 650 1,000 The allotment is made by first ensuring each applicant receives the minimum lot size (50 shares). The remaining shares (1000 - 350 = 650 shares) are then allotted proportionally based on the bids, using a factor of 650/1250 (where 1250 is the sum of adjusted bid quantities for proportional allotment, as used in the solution).
