Explanation:$

The authorised share capital is showing as stated in the charter. When the issued share is sold above the authorised value it's recorded as share premium to be added to the values of the share issued and when it's sold below the authorised value it's recognized as a discount to be deducted from the issued share value. The repurchase of own share is not added to the share issued but cognizance and recording is giving to premium or discount on repurchase or resell .

The dividend declared and payed is deducted from the net income to arrive at retained earnings.
