What will be the journal entry for the premium and allotment money due at the time of allotment?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3-
10% Debenture Allotment A/c Dr. र2,25,000
To 10% Debentures A/c र1,75,000
To Securities Premium Reserve A/c र50,000
Allotment is र45 including premium
Premium is र10
Total Allotment amount to be received = 5,000 X 45
= र2,25,000
Premium amount = 5,000 X 10
= र50,000
Debentures Amount = 2,25,000 - 50,000
= र1,75,000
Journal entry for the due payment of allotment is as follows-
10% Debenture Allotment A/c Dr. र2,25,000
To 10% Debentures A/c र1,75,000
To Securities Premium Reserve A/c र50,000
