ABC Ltd offered 20000, 12% debentures of ₹100 each at a premium of 10% payable as ₹40 on application(including premium) and balance on allotment redeemable after 8 years. 30000 applications are received by the company and the allotment is made on pro-rata basis. All the money on application and allotment is received by the company timely.

₹60

₹65

₹70

₹85

Allotment money = 100 -30
