20,00,000 Debentures on March, 2011

10,00,000 Debentures on March 2013

20,00,000 Debentures on March 2014

Compute the amount of discount to be written off in each year till debentures are paid. Also prepare the discount/loss on the issue of the debenture account.

Answer 1

Loss on issue of debenture = 6% (discount on issue) + 4% (premium on redemption) = 10%

`50,00,000 xx 100 xx 10/100 = 5,00,00,000`

At the end of	Debenture Outstanding	Ratio	Loss to be written off every year
March 2010	50,00,00,000	5	`5,00,00,000 xx 5/18`	=	1,38,88,889
March 2011	50,00,00,000	5	`5,00,00,000 xx 5/18`	=	1,38,88,889
March 2012	30,00,00,000	3	`5,00,00,000 xx 3/18`	=	83,33,333
March 2013	30,00,00,000	3	`5,00,00,000 xx 3/18`	=	83,33,333
March 2014	20,00,00,000	2	`5,00,00,000 xx 2/18`	=	55,55,556
		18			Rs 5,00,00,000
