Answer 1

Premier Ltd. issued 2,000, 9% Debentures of ₹100 each at par, redeemable after five years at a premium of 10%. The minimum amount invested in Debenture Redemption Investments will be ₹ 30,000.

Explanation:

As per the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, a company must invest at least 15% of the amount of debentures maturing during the year in Debenture Redemption Investments (DRI) before 30th April of the year of redemption.

Face Value of Debentures = 2,000 × ₹ 100 = ₹ 2,00,000

15% of ₹ 2,00,000 = ₹ 30,000
