Arrange the following in order in case of issue of debenture at discount.

A. Allotment due

B. Receipt of application money

C. Transfer of discount to Statement of Profit & Loss

D. Allotment of debentures

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1,3

Receipt of application money comes first and writing off the discount comes last; the ambiguity is only in whether "allotment of debentures" occurs before or after "allotment due."


B. Receipt of application money → First step.

A and D → Ambiguous. If "allotment of debentures" means the formal allotment decision, the order is B → D → A → C. If it refers to completing the accounting for allotment after the amount becomes due, the order is B → A → D → C.

C. Transfer of discount to Statement of Profit & Loss → Done after the issue process.

Therefore, both Option 1 (B, D, A, C) and Option 3 (B, A, D, C) can be accepted because the wording of A and D is not precise enough.
