Issue of Rs. 1,00,000, 9% debentures of Rs. 100 each at discount of 15% but redeemable at premium of 5%, the amount debited to loss on issue of debenture account is.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Given:

  • Face Value of Debentures = Rs. 1,00,000
  • Issued at 15% discount
  • Redeemable at 5% premium

Loss on Issue of Debentures includes both the discount at which debentures are issued and the premium at which they will be redeemed.


Calculation of Discount on Issue:

Issue Price = Face Value - Discount

= Rs. 1,00,000 - 15% of Rs. 1,00,000

= Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 15,000

= Rs. 85,000

Discount on Issue = Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 85,000 = Rs. 15,000


Calculation of Premium on Redemption:

Redemption Value = Face Value + Premium

= Rs. 1,00,000 + 5% of Rs. 1,00,000

= Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 5,000

= Rs. 1,05,000

Premium on Redemption = Rs. 1,05,000 - Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 5,000


Total Loss on Issue of Debentures:

Loss on Issue = Discount on Issue + Premium on Redemption

= Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 5,000

= Rs. 20,000

The company receives only Rs. 85,000 but has to repay Rs. 1,05,000 at redemption. The total loss of Rs. 20,000 is debited to Loss on Issue of Debentures Account.
