Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let us define the technical terms associated with the accounting of share capital:(A) Calls in Arrears: This occurs when a shareholder fails to pay the required allocation or call money within the stipulated period. Thus, (A) maps to (II).(B) Calls in Advance: This reflects instances where a shareholder proactively remits a portion or the entirety of future call amounts before the company formally demands it. Thus, (B) maps to (I).(C) Over Subscription: This context arises when the volume of share applications received from investors exceeds the nominal quantity of shares open for subscription. Thus, (C) maps to (IV).(D) Under Subscription: This occurs when the public applies for a quantum of shares that falls below the baseline offering advertised by the company. Thus, (D) maps to (III).This corresponds to the structure: (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
