Question : Issue of shares at a premium is :
Option 1: Profit
Option 2: Revenue Receipt
Option 3: Capital Receipt
Option 4: Income
Correct Answer: Capital Receipt
Solution : Capital receipts are non-recurring receipts that cause an increase in liabilities or a loss in assets. The business is exposed since the premium amount is not consistently received. It is, therefore, a capital receipt.
Hence the correct answer is option 3.
