Since the company received applications for 50,000 shares but only has 25,000 shares available for allotment, they need to allot shares to everyone on a pro-rata basis.
To determine the ratio for allotment, we can divide the number of available shares by the number of shares applied for:
25,000 (available shares) ÷ 50,000 (shares applied for) = 0.5
This means that for every share applied for, the company can allot 0.5 shares. So, the ratio for allotment will be 1:2 (one share allotted for every two shares applied for).
