₹4,50,000

₹5,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹4,50,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹4,50,000.

The paid-up share capital is the portion of the authorized share capital for which the company has received payment from the shareholders. In this case, 4500 shares were applied for and allotted.
Number of shares issued = 5,000
Face value per share = Rs 100
Applications received = 4500

Amount shown in the company's Balance Sheet as subscribed fully paid-up Share Capital = Number of shares allotted x Face value per share
= 4500 x ₹100
= ₹4,50,000
