3

4

Official Solution
Correct Option:
(3)
To determine the number of debentures issued by Romi Ltd., follow these steps:
Determine the Total Assets Acquired:
Building: ₹1,50,000
Machinery: ₹1,40,000
Furniture: ₹10,000
Total assets = ₹1,50,000 + ₹1,40,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹3,00,000
Consider Liabilities Taken Over: Romi Ltd. took over liabilities worth ₹20,000.
Understand Purchase Consideration: The purchase consideration is ₹3,15,000.
Calculate the Debentures to Be Issued: The debentures are issued at 12% with a face value of ₹100 each but at a premium of 5%. Therefore, the issue price per debenture is:
Issue price = Face value + Premium = ₹100 + ₹5 = ₹105
Calculate Number of Debentures Issued:
Number of debentures
=
Purchase Consideration / Issue Price per Debenture
Number of debentures
=
₹3,15,000 / ₹105
Number of debentures
=
3000
Thus, the number of debentures issued by Romi Ltd. is 3000.

Identify the correct sequence to find out profit after tax while preparing comparative income statement A. Deduct expenses B.

2
B. A, E, D, C
3
B. E, A, C, D
4
E, C, B, A, D
Official Solution
Correct Option:
(2)
Step 1: Find Total Revenue (B)
Start by calculating the total revenue. This includes revenue from operations (e.g., sales) and other incomes (e.g., interest, dividends). This matches step B: "Find out total revenue by adding the other incomes to revenue from operations."
Step 2: Deduct Expenses (A)
Subtract all expenses (e.g., cost of goods sold, operating expenses, depreciation) from the total revenue. This gives us the profit before tax. This matches step A: "Deduct expenses."
Step 3: Calculate Profit Before Tax (E)
The result after deducting expenses is the profit before tax. This matches step E: "Calculate the profit before tax."
Note: Steps C ("Find out the profit after tax") and D ("Deduct the tax") come after finding profit before tax, as they are used to calculate profit after tax, not profit before tax.
Evaluate the Options
Let’s check the given options to find the correct sequence for calculating profit before tax:
Option 1: E, B, A, D, C: Starts with calculating profit before tax (E), which is incorrect since we need to find revenue and deduct expenses first.
Option 2: B, A, E, D, C: Starts with finding total revenue (B), deducts expenses (A), and calculates profit before tax (E). This is the correct sequence for finding profit before tax. The remaining steps (D, C) are for profit after tax.
Option 3: B, E, A, C, D: Starts with finding revenue (B), but jumps to calculating profit before tax (E) before deducting expenses (A), which is out of order.
Option 4: E, C, B, A, D: Starts with calculating profit before tax (E) and profit after tax (C), which doesn’t make sense as a starting point.
Final Answer
The correct sequence to find profit before tax is B, A, E, which matches Option 2: B, A, E, D, C.

Calculate the amount of yearly interest payable on 9% debentures (10,000 debentures of ₹100) issued as collateral security.
1
No Interest payable
2
₹90,000
3
₹9000
4
₹99000
Official Solution
Correct Option:
(1)
Step 1: Understand Debentures Issued as Collateral Security
Debentures issued as collateral security are held as a guarantee for a loan or obligation. They are not considered actively issued unless the borrower defaults and the lender enforces the collateral.
In accounting, no interest is payable on such debentures unless they are claimed due to a default.
Step 2: Calculate Nominal Interest (If Payable)
If the debentures were actively issued, the interest would be:
Total face value = 10,000 debentures × ₹100:
Total Face Value = 10,000 × ₹100 = ₹10,00,000
Interest rate = 9% per annum:
Yearly Interest = (9/100) × ₹10,00,000 = ₹90,000
Step 3: Determine Interest Payable
Since the debentures are issued as collateral security, no interest is payable unless the collateral is enforced (e.g., due to a default). The problem does not indicate any default.
Therefore, the interest payable is zero.
Step 4: Match with Options
Options provided:
Option 1: No interest payable
Option 2: ₹90,000
Option 3: ₹9,000
Option 4: ₹99,000
Since no interest is payable, the correct answer is Option 1: No interest payable.
Note: ₹90,000 would be the interest if the debentures were actively issued, but the collateral security condition negates this.
Final Answer
The yearly interest payable is Option 1: No interest payable.

Step 2: Evaluate Each Option
Let’s check each option:

From the viewpoint of registration, the two types are:
Registered Debentures (E): Recorded in the company’s register.
Bearer Debentures (B): Not recorded in the register; transferable by delivery.

30,000
2
28,800
3
32,000
4
27,693
Official Solution
Correct Option:
(1)
Calculating the Number of Debentures Issued:
This calculation involves determining the effective value of each debenture after accounting for the discount and then finding out how many such debentures are needed to cover the purchase consideration. Step 1: Calculate Issue Price per Debenture Face Value of Debenture = Rs100
Discount = 4% of Rs100 = Rs4
Issue Price = Face Value - Discount
Issue Price = Rs100 - Rs4 = Rs96
Step 2: Calculate the Number of Debentures Issued Purchase Consideration = Rs28,80,000
Number of Debentures = Purchase Consideration / Issue Price per Debenture
Number of Debentures = Rs28,80,000 / Rs96 = 30,000
Therefore, ABandCo issued 30,000 debentures to the vendor.

Here the question asks how the discount is calculated for the debentures. The discount is the difference between the face value and the issue price. Since the debentures are issued at a 10% discount, we calculate it as follows: This amount, Rs 1,20,000, needs to be transferred to the "Discount on Issue of Debenture A/c" as per accounting rules.

Given the context and phrase "perpetual in nature," the debenture is perpetual, meaning it has no fixed maturity date and will not be redeemed unless the company decides to do so in the future. This is a characteristic of Irredeemable Debentures. These debentures do not contain features such as conversion to equity shares or redemption after a set time.

Step 1: Understand the accounting treatment. Loss on Issue of Debentures = Discount on issue of debentures + Premium on redemption of debentures.
Step 2: Calculate discount on issue. Debentures issued = Rs. 1,00,000 (i.e., 1,000 debentures of Rs. 100 each). Discount = 5% of 1,00,000 = Rs. 5,000.
Step 3: Calculate premium on redemption. Premium = 5% of 1,00,000 = Rs. 5,000.
Step 4: Total Loss on Issue. Wait carefully — the problem asks: Issued at 5% discount + Redeemable at 5% premium. That means: - Discount = Rs. 5,000. - Premium on redemption = Rs. 5,000. So, total loss = Rs. 10,000. But the options give 15,000 as well. Let's recheck: If both discount (5,000) and premium (10,000?) are counted differently? Actually, at Rs. 100 each, 1,000 debentures = Rs. 1,00,000. Discount = 5,000. Premium on redemption = 5,000. Total = Rs. 10,000. Thus, the correct answer is Rs. 10,000.

We match each term from List I with its correct meaning from List II: \begin{itemize}
\item (A) Secured debenture — These are backed by a charge on the assets of the company. \quad ⇒ Matches with (III) \item (B) Registered debenture — These are debentures recorded in the company’s register in the name of the holder. \quad ⇒ Matches with (IV) \item (C) Convertible debenture — These can be converted into equity shares at a later date. \quad ⇒ Matches with (II) \item (D) Unsecured debenture — These are not backed by assets and may not carry a fixed interest rate. \quad ⇒ Matches with (I) \end{itemize} So the correct matching is: A–III, B–IV, C–II, D–I

Correct Option:

Step 1: Recall formula. Loss on Issue of Debentures = Discount on Issue + Premium on Redemption.
Step 2: Given values. Loss on Issue = Rs. 10,000. Premium on Redemption = Rs. 5,000. So, Discount on Issue = 10,000 – 5,000 = Rs. 5,000.
Step 3: Rate of discount. Debentures issued = Rs. 1,00,000. Discount = Rs. 5,000. But wait carefully: The journal entry already shows 95,000 cash received, which means discount = 5,000. Loss on Issue includes both discount (5,000) and premium on redemption (5,000). Therefore, the rate of discount = 5%, not 10%.

When Debentures are issued at par and are redeemable at a premium, the Loss on such an issue is debited to:
1
Statement of Profit \& Loss A/c
2
Loss on issue of Debentures A/c
3
Debentures Application \& Allotment A/c
4

Official Solution
Correct Option:

Step 1: Understand the scenario.
When debentures are issued at par (face value = issue price), but redeemable at a premium, the company incurs a loss because it will pay more at redemption. This future loss is accounted for at the time of issue. Step 2: Treatment of loss.
This type of loss is recorded under the account "Loss on issue of Debentures A/c" and is shown as a fictitious asset in the balance sheet, to be written off over the years.
