2y ago#1I don't agree with your choice. Where shares are in issue and are only partly paid, the act of cancellation of the unpaid element is taking away from the payables of the company the security of some liquidator of the company in the future from being able to call up the unpaid amounts of those partly paid shares and thus depriving the liquidator of the ability to swell the company's funds.
You'll need to think again and this time, when you have selected your answer, justify your choice to me.
OK?
S? statement 3 is correct in this case right teacher
2y ago#3The cancellation of unissued shares is correct.
Good luck in your exam 'in a few days'
OK?
