Correct Answer: Shares issued to promoters in consideration of their services are shown as a Financing Activity.


Solution : Answer = Shares issued to promoters in consideration of their services are shown as Financing Activity.

Shares issued to promoters in consideration of their services are not shown under financing activities because this is an example of a cash transaction. Non-cash transactions are those transactions which do not involve cash. Financing activities involve transactions related to obtaining or repaying capital, such as issuing debt or equity securities. Issuing shares for services rendered falls under operating activities as it relates to core business operations.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
