Working note:
Total Assets taken over:
₹ 50,00,000 + ₹ 10,00,000 + ₹ 5,00,000 = ₹ 65,00,000
Less: Creditors:
₹ 65,00,000 − ₹ 7,00,000 = ₹ 58,00,000
Purchase Consideration:
₹ 60,00,000
Therefore, Goodwill:
₹ 60,00,000 − ₹ 58,00,000 = ₹ 2,00,000
Issue price of each debenture at 20% premium:
₹ 100 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 120
Number of Debentures issued:
`(60,00,000)/120 = 50,000` Debentures
Face value of Debentures:
50,000 × ₹ 100 = ₹ 50,00,000
Securities Premium:
50,000 × ₹ 20 = ₹ 10,00,000
