Harsh Ltd. purchased assets of the book value of Rs.1,98,000 from Garv Ltd. It was agreed that purchase consideration be paid by issuing 16% debentures of Rs. 100 each at a discount of 10%. The number of debentures issued and journal entry for the same would be:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Issue price per debenture =100−10=Rs.90=100-10=\text{Rs.}90.

Number issued =1,98,00090=2,200=\frac{1{,}98{,}000}{90}=2{,}200 debentures.

Nominal value =2,200×100=Rs.2,20,000=2{,}200\times100=\text{Rs.}2{,}20{,}000 and discount =2,200×10=Rs.22,000=2{,}200\times10=\text{Rs.}22{,}000.

So Garv Ltd. is debited Rs.1,98,000\text{Rs.}1{,}98{,}000, discount Rs.22,000\text{Rs.}22{,}000, and 16% Debentures credited Rs.2,20,000\text{Rs.}2{,}20{,}000.
