Question:
A company purchased a plant and issued fully paid-up equity shares for consideration other than cash. These shares will be shown in notes to accounts to share capital as:
Options:
Issued capital
Subscribed but not fully paid
Forfeited shares
Subscribed and fully paid
Correct Answer:
Subscribed and fully paid
Explanation:
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.
