(D) Premium on redemption of debentures is a loss for the company.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) is false. Debentures can be issued to vendors for assets purchased.
(B) is true, because collateral debentures are only a subsidiary security and carry no interest unless the company defaults.
(C) is false. Convertible debentures are redeemed by issuing shares, not cash.
(D) is true, as the extra amount payable on redemption is a capital loss.
Hence (B) and (D) only.
