Note : (i) Redemption is at 5% premium so loss on issue will also be 5%.

(ii ) & (iii) Redemption is at par hence loss or profit on redemption.

(iv) Debentures are issued for 1,00,000 (1000 x 100) whereas payment against machinery due was 2,95,000 , hence difference Rs. 5,000 will be considered as discount on issue.

(v) The entry passed for debenture issued is collateral security does not show any , thing related to loan amount. It is passed for full amount of debentures issued.

Note : (i) Premium on redemption is debited at the time of redemption as it is extra money paid to debenture holder and hence it is a loss. On the other side discount on redemption has the reverse treatment i.e., credited at redemption as it is profit to the company.

(ii) The debentures are always redeemed on due date by crediting Debenture Holders' and paid later on according to the convinience of company. At the time of payment the Debenture holders are debited.
