The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

While the company issued 1,95,000 shares, full payment was not received on all of them.
Each share has a face value of ₹10. The final call of ₹2 per share was not received on 5,000 shares.
Unpaid call amount = 5,000 shares × ₹2 = ₹10,000
Thus, the amount received = ₹19,50,000 – ₹10,000 = ₹19,40,000
This figure represents the portion of capital that has been subscribed but not fully paid, and is disclosed separately in the Notes to Accounts.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Authorised Capital is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is allowed to issue as per its Memorandum of Association.
In this case, Neera Ltd. has authorised capital of ₹2,00,00,000, which is equivalent to 20,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each.
This amount remains unchanged regardless of how many shares are actually issued or subscribed.
Hence, in the Notes to Accounts, the Authorised Capital will be reported as:
2,00,000 shares × ₹10 = ₹2,00,00,000

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Issued Capital refers to the portion of Authorised Capital that has been offered to the public for subscription.
Neera Ltd. invited applications for 2,00,000 shares. This number determines the Issued Capital, regardless of how many shares are actually subscribed.
Issued Capital = 2,00,000 shares × ₹10 = ₹20,00,000
Even though only 1,95,000 shares were subscribed and allotted, Issued Capital stays at the number of shares offered.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Out of 1,95,000 subscribed shares, 5,000 shares did not pay the final call of ₹2. This makes them “not fully paid”.
Hence, only 1,90,000 shares are fully paid. But in financial reporting, capital is reported on the basis of amounts actually received, so:
Total amount received = 1,95,000 shares × ₹10 – 5,000 × ₹2 = ₹19,40,000
Thus, Subscribed and fully paid share capital = ₹19,40,000
This figure appears under Share Capital – “Subscribed and Fully Paid-Up”.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The company forfeited 5,000 shares due to non-payment of final call of ₹2. However, all prior amounts had been received.
Let’s assume share payment structure:
- Application = ₹3 Allotment = ₹3 First Call = ₹2 Final Call = ₹2
Amount received per forfeited share = 3 + 3 + 2 = ₹8
So, total amount credited to Share Forfeiture A/c = 5,000 × ₹8 = ₹40,000
This is shown under the heading “Reserves and Surplus” until the shares are reissued.
