Accounting for Shares

Question:
A combined account for share application and share allotment is opened by the company in some situations. What is the name of that combined account?
Options:
Share application A/c
Share combined A/c
Share application combined A/c
Share Application and Allotment Account
Correct Answer:
Share Application and Allotment Account
Explanation:
Sometimes a combined account for share application and share allotment called ‘Share Application and Allotment Account’ is opened in the books of a company. The combined account is based on the reasoning that allotment without application is impossible while application without allotment is meaningless. These two stages of share capital are closely inter-related.
