Options:

1,100 Debentures

900 Debentures

1,000 Debentures

1,050

Correct Answer:

1,000 Debentures

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- 1,000 Debentures.

Face value of debenture = 100
Premium = 10%
Premium amount = 100 x 10/100
                           = 10
Issue price = Face value + Premium
                  = 100 + 10
                  = 110

No. of Debentures issued = Purchase Consideration/ Issue Price of Debenture
                                         = 1,10,000/ 110
                                         = 1,000 Debentures
