Issue and Redemption of Debentures

Question:
Interest payable on debentures is calculated at which value?
Options:
Nominal value
Paid-up value
Issued price
None of these
Correct Answer:
Nominal value
Explanation:
When a company issues debentures, it is under an obligation to pay interest thereon at fixed percentage (half yearly) periodically until debentures are repaid. This percentage is usually as part of the name of debentures like 8% debentures, 10% debentures, etc., and interest payable is calculated at the nominal value of debentures.
