Correct Answer: Debited with Rs. 20,000


Solution : Answer = Debited with Rs. 20,000

Loss on issue of debentures Rs. 2,00,000 X 5% = Rs.10,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 X 10% = Rs. 20,000
Loss on issue of debentures = Rs. 30,000
Written off from securities premium = Rs. 10,000
From profit and loss Account = Rs. 20,000

Securities premium A/c Dr                         10,000
Profit and loss account Dr                          20,000
To loss on issue  of Debentures A/c                   30,000
