Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total number of issued ordinary shares
300,000 shares
Issued capital is the portion of authorized capital offered to subscribers (500,000×60%=300,000500,000 \times 60\% = 300,000 shares).
2
Calculate total called-up capital
₦450,000
Called-up capital is the amount requested by the company from shareholders (300,000 shares×₦1.50=₦450,000300,000 \text{ shares} \times ₦1.50 = ₦450,000).
3
Calculate calls in arrears (unpaid called-up capital)
₦10,000
Calls in arrears represent the defaulted portion of called-up capital (20,000 shares×₦0.50=₦10,00020,000 \text{ shares} \times ₦0.50 = ₦10,000).
4
Subtract calls in arrears from total called-up capital
₦440,000
Paid-up share capital equals total called-up capital minus calls in arrears (₦450,000−₦10,000=₦440,000₦450,000 - ₦10,000 = ₦440,000).
