Question : The law permits a Company to offer 2,00,000 shares for sale for Rs.2 per share. The general public purchased three-quarters (3/4) of these shares. How much issued share capital is there?
Option 1: 4,00,000
Option 2: 5,00,000
Option 3: 1,00,000
Option 4: 3,00,000
Correct Answer: 3,00,000
Solution : If a company is allowed by law to sell 2,00,000 shares at Rs.2.00 each, then the total Authorised Share Capital will be Rs.2,00,000*2 = Rs.4,00,000. Out of this Rs.4,00,000, 3/4th was bought by the general public, So the Issued share capital will be 400000*3/4 = Rs.3,00,000.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
