Solution

The correct option is B Rs 550 000
The maximum amount of share capital a company is allowed to raise is called its authorised capital. Though this does not limit the number of shares a company may issue, it does put a ceiling on the total amount of money that can be raised by the sale of those shares.

Thus, XYZ Ltd. issues 5,00,000 new ordinary shares and 50,000 bonus issue which implies 5,00,000 + 50,000 = 5,50,000 (No. of shares by which ordinary share capital account increases)
