Answer / ma10kumar
Balance Sheet is prepared from the company's stand point.
From the company's perspective, the capital provider is a
different person and therefore whatever money that (s)he is
investing in business (called Capital) should be returned
back to him/her. As it is a obligation to the company to
repay the amount, Capital comes under the Liability side.

Answer / rakesh kadiri
capital is asset to the company as and when liquidity is
required it will be available to use it but why it appears
in the liability means at the time of the formation of the
company initial investment has to be made by the director
of the company so at the time of formation of the company
at any cost it should be liability to the company so it
would appear in the liability side of balance sheet.

Answer / aparna reddy
CAPITAL IS THE INITIAL INVESTMENT BROUGHT FROM PUBLIC WHO
BECOME SHAREHOLDERS AFTER PURCHASING SHARES IN THE FORM OF
UNITS.THESE SHAREHOLDERS CONTRIBUTE FUNDS/MONEY TO THE
COMPANY WHICH BECOMES CAPITAL TO COMPANY.
AND THE COMPANY OWES TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE MONEY THEY
HAVE FUNDED.
AS IT IS OWING ,THIS BECOMES AN OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR
COMPANY TO SHAREHOLDERS.ANY OBLIGATION TO PAY IS LIABILITY
HENCE WE TREAT CAPITAL AS LIABILITY
