Answer Posted / ajay naraina
Reserves and surplusAt the end of an accounting period the
company may decide to transfer part of the profits to a
reserve and retain the balance in the profit and loss
account. The reserve created out of profits transferred
from profit and loss account is called general reserve. The
balance in the profit and loss account is called a surplus
and will be shown under this head in the balance sheet.
The company can use the general reserve for various
purposes including issue of bonus shares to shareholders
and payment of dividend when profits are insufficient.
The premium received when shares are issued at a premium

surplus
