Solution
Understanding the classification of items in a Balance Sheet:
Shareholders Fund comprises equity share capital, preference share capital, and reserves & surplus. It represents the owners' interest in the company. Therefore, (A) matches with (II) Reserves and Surplus.
Current Liabilities are obligations payable within one year or the operating cycle. Trade Payables (amounts owed to suppliers for credit purchases) are a typical current liability. Therefore, (B) matches with (III) Trade Payables.
Current Assets are assets expected to be realized in cash or consumed within one year or the operating cycle. Inventories (stock of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods) are held for sale in the ordinary course of business. Therefore, (C) matches with (IV) Inventories.
Fixed Assets (Non-current Assets) are assets held for long-term use in business operations. Non-current investments are investments held for more than one year and are not meant for trading. Therefore, (D) matches with (I) Non-current investments.
The correct matching:
- (A) → (II)
- (B) → (III)
- (C) → (IV)
- (D) → (I)
