Solution
Looking at the characteristics of each type of company:
Companies Limited by Shares have members whose liability is limited to the unpaid amount on their shares. Once shares are fully paid, members have no further liability for company debts → matches with (III)
Companies Limited by Guarantee have members who agree to contribute a predetermined amount (guarantee amount) only when the company is being wound up → matches with (IV)
Unlimited Companies have members with unlimited liability. If company assets are insufficient to pay debts, members' personal/private property can be attached to settle company obligations → matches with (I)
Private Company is characterized by restrictions on share transferability. As per Section 2(68) of the Companies Act 2013, it restricts the right to transfer shares through its Articles of Association → matches with (II)
The correct matching is:
- (A) → (III)
- (B) → (IV)
- (C) → (I)
- (D) → (II)
Option 4 is correct.
