Which of the following is not shown under the heading "Share Capital" in a balance sheet? (2024)

Certainly! As someone well-versed in corporate finance and accounting principles, I can break down the scenario and the concepts involved.

The scenario describes the capital structure and transactions of Himmat Ltd, a company with an authorized share capital of ₹50,00,000, divided into 5,00,000 Equity Shares of ₹10 each. The company initially issued and paid up ₹5,00,000 of its authorized share capital.

Later, the company issued an additional 1,50,000 Equity Shares to the public at par value for subscription. The subscription payment was structured as follows:

  • On Application: ₹3 per share
  • On Allotment: ₹4 per share
  • On Call: Balance Amount (remaining amount after Application and Allotment)

All the shares were subscribed to and allotment was made to all the applicants. Subsequently, during the year, the company made a call for the remaining balance amount, which was duly received.

Now, to illustrate the share capital in the Balance Sheet of the Company, we need to break down the different stages of the share issuance and payments:

  1. Authorized Share Capital: ₹50,00,000
  2. Issued and Paid-up Capital (initial): ₹5,00,000
  3. New Shares Issued: 1,50,000 Equity Shares
    • Application: ₹3 per share
    • Allotment: ₹4 per share
    • Balance due on Call: Remaining amount

Here's a step-by-step calculation:

  • Application: 1,50,000 shares * ₹3 = ₹4,50,000
  • Allotment: 1,50,000 shares * ₹4 = ₹6,00,000
  • The balance due on Call: Total Collection - (Application + Allotment) = Balance due Call amount per share = (Remaining Authorized Capital - Issued Capital) / Number of shares issued Remaining Authorized Capital = ₹50,00,000 - ₹5,00,000 = ₹45,00,000 Balance due = ₹45,00,000 - (₹4,50,000 + ₹6,00,000) = ₹34,50,000 Call amount per share = ₹34,50,000 / 1,50,000 = ₹23 per share (Balance amount)

Therefore, the Share Capital in the Balance Sheet will be:

  • Authorized Share Capital: ₹50,00,000
  • Issued and Paid-up Capital: ₹5,00,000 (initial) + ₹4,50,000 (Application) + ₹6,00,000 (Allotment) + ₹34,50,000 (Call) = ₹50,00,000

This calculation ensures that the total share capital in the Balance Sheet reflects the authorized capital of the company, duly subscribed, allotted, and paid up by the shareholders.
