Options:

₹2,50,000

₹5,00,000

₹50,00,000

₹7,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹7,50,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- ₹7,50,000.

Debentures = 50,000
Face value of debenture = 100
Discount = 5%
Premium on redemption = 10%

Discount on issue = 50,00,000 x 5/100
                            = 2,50,000

Premium on redemption = 50,00,000 x 10/100
                                      = 5,00,000

Total Loss on issue of Debentures = 2,50,000 + 5,00,000
                                                      = 7,50,000
