Next, let's take a closer look at some of the meanings of the word we are studying.
A share is how much?
Earlier in Russia there was a system for measuring weight, which was very different from the modern one. The smallest and most important unit used to measure mass was the fraction. It correlated with grams, pounds and other units of weight.
So, 1 share was equal to 0.0444 grams, which, in turn, was the weight of one spelled grain. This is a type of wheat that was widespread already at the dawn of civilization and was grown in ancient Egypt, Babylon, the Mediterranean. The share included 1/9216 pounds.
The next larger unit of weight was the spool. The proportion was 1/96 of a spool (about 4.3 g, 1/96 lb).
How to calculate the share?
As it turned out, a share is a certain part of something. As for the fraction of a number, it is each of its equal parts. For example, 2 is one quarter - 1/4 (one of four equal parts) of eight. (8=2 + 2 + 2 + 2).
In order to calculate the share of a number, divide it by the number of shares indicated. In our case, 8 is divided by 4, it turns out 2. To find the number, you need to multiply the value of the share with the number of shares. ¼x 8=2.
Next, let's move on to the question of what it is - volume fraction.
Unit for liquids and gases
In chemical science there is such a thing as a volume fraction. This is a dimensionless quantity, which is the ratio of the volume of a substance in a mixture to the entire volume of the mixture. She also has names such as:
- Volume concentration.
- Share by volume.
- Volume part.
This value is denoted by the Greek letter "φ" and is usually applied to liquids and gases. The volume fraction is expressed as a percentage.
In civil law
The word we are considering is also used in the field of inheritance law, where the term "mandatory share" is used. This is such a part of the property that, after the death of its owner, certain categories of relatives receive, regardless of what is said in the will. This is indicated in Article 1149 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. These individuals include:
- Children of the testator - if they are disabled or under 18.
- Father, mother, wife, husband - if they are unable to work.
- Dependents who are also disabled.
Regardless of their place in the will, the named heirs are en titled to no less than half of the share that would have gone to each of them if they inherited in accordance with the law. This is the meaning of the mandatory share.
Satisfaction of this right is made from the share of the hereditary mass that remained fortestament framework. At the same time, the fact that this may lead to infringement of the rights of other legal heirs to the specified part of the property does not matter. And if the unbequeathed part of the property is not enough, then the right to a mandatory share will be exercised from the part of the property that was bequeathed.
Share of Participation
This expression is most often used when it comes to someone's rights to a share in the authorized capital or property of the company.
Authorized capital is the property or money that the founder contributes when registering an enterprise. It is necessary in order to ensure the start of activities. But since there can be any number of founders in the company, their participation in the authorized capital is divided into shares.
The profit received by the enterprise, according to the results of the reporting period, can be divided among the participants. The amount of funds received by each of them depends on its share in the authorized capital. It can be expressed as a percentage or in parts.
For example, if a company has two founders, each of which has a 50% share, then if they make a quarterly profit of 2 million, they will receive 1 million rubles each.
But the ownership of shares also provides for the responsibility of the founders, for example, in the event of bankruptcy of the company. Each of them is liable for debts within their shares. If the authorized capital is 100 thousand rubles, then, according to the conditions of the first example, part of the responsibility will be divided in half and will amount to 50 thousand rubles each.
Sharelike destiny
In Slavic mythology, the share was considered as the personification of good luck, a happy fate. She was considered a gift of the gods, the power that they endowed a person with the aim of overcoming life's difficulties. When a person was born, a share was established for him, which accompanied him until his death. In many ways, she influenced his personality and life path.
What share will get depended on the mother, family, ancestors, but determined by her women in labor. In Slavic myths, these are female creatures, who were also called orissa and nephews. As a rule, there were three of them. The Bulgarians associated them with the Mother of God and her "sisters" - the saints of Week and Friday.
