Options

• ₹ 3,00,000

• ₹ 1,50,000

• ₹ 30,000

• ₹ 4,50,000

Answer 1

₹ 1,50,000

Explanation:

Discount on issue of debentures = `30,000 × (10/100 xx 100)`

= 30,000 × 10

= ₹ 3,00,000

Loss on issue of debentures = ₹ 4,50,000

∴ Premium on redemption of debentures = Loss on issue of debentures − Discount on issue of debentures

= ₹ 4,50,000 – ₹ 3,00,000

= ₹ 1,50,000
