What will be the Authorised share capital and issued share capital amounts to be shown in the Notes to Accounts of the balance sheet of Moon Company Ltd.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Authorised capital is the registered amount =5,00,000×10=50,00,000= 5{,}00{,}000 \times 10 = 50{,}00{,}000. Issued capital is the number of shares offered to the public =3,00,000×10=30,00,000= 3{,}00{,}000 \times 10 = 30{,}00{,}000. Applications received and calls unpaid do not affect these two figures.
