Solution

The correct option is B Rs 39,74,000
The first step is to find the call-in-arrear which is the amount that is not paid by the shareholders when called up by the company.
Callsinarrear=AmountnotpaidbyMr.X+AmountnotpaidbyMr.Y
Substitute values in the above equation
Callsinarrear=4000shares×Rs6+1000shares×Rs2=Rs26,000
Subscribed capital is that part of issued capital which is formulated with deductions of the amount to be paid yet.
SubscribedCapital=CapitalsubsribedbypublicCallsinarrear
Substitute values in the above equation
SubscribedCapital=Rs40,00,000Rs26,000=Rs39,74,000
Hence, the subscribed capital to be shown in balance sheet isRs39,74,000.
