Solution
(A) The maximum amount of share capital which a company is authorized to issue
This refers to the Authorized Capital or Nominal Capital, which is the maximum capital a company can raise as per its Memorandum of Association.
Match: (A) → (III) Nominal share capital

Shares are forfeited when a shareholder fails to pay the amount due on allotment or any call. The primary reason for forfeiture is default in payment.

When forfeited shares are reissued, the profit (excess of reissue price over the amount originally not paid) is a capital profit and cannot be distributed as dividend. It is transferred to Capital Reserve.
Formula: Profit on reissue = Amount received on reissue - Amount not received from original shareholder

Share Forfeiture Account represents the amount forfeited from defaulting shareholders. This is part of the company's equity and is shown under the head "Share Capital" in the Balance Sheet.
