Cevap: 6200000

Cevap

The total paid-up capital of the company is 6,200,000₦6,200,000.
Paid-up capital is the portion of called-up capital that shareholders have actually paid into the business. First, 80%80\% of the 2,000,0002,000,000 authorized shares equals 1,600,0001,600,000 issued shares. Calling up 4₦4 per share yields a called-up amount of 6,400,000₦6,400,000. Since holders of 50,00050,000 shares defaulted on 4₦4 per share, the unpaid calls in arrears total 200,000₦200,000. Subtracting 200,000₦200,000 from 6,400,000₦6,400,000 results in a total paid-up capital of 6,200,000₦6,200,000.

1,600,0001,600,000 shares
The company issued 80%80\% of its 2,000,0002,000,000 authorized shares (0.80×2,000,000=1,600,0000.80 \times 2,000,000 = 1,600,000).

The directors requested 4₦4 per share across all 1,600,0001,600,000 issued shares (1,600,000×4=6,400,0001,600,000 \times ₦4 = ₦6,400,000).

Holders of 50,00050,000 shares failed to pay the requested 4₦4 per share (50,000×4=200,00050,000 \times ₦4 = ₦200,000).
