A company generally buys the assets for the business for cash or on credit. Also, it usually issues shares for cash. But, in some cases, it may choose to buy the assets in exchange for shares. It may offer fully paid equity shares to the vendor for the value of the assets. Therefore, these shares are shown as subscribed and full paid-up capital. |
