The total money received on the application is र5,60,000 (14000 X 40).
What will be the journal entry for the adjustment of this whole application money and transfer application money to debentures A/c?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is option 4-
12% Debenture Application A/c Dr. र5,60,000
To 12% Debentures A/c र4,00,000
To Debentures Allotment A/c र40,000
To Bank A/c र1,20,000
(Adjustment of application money)
Total application money = र5,60,000
Debentures amount = 10,000 debentures X 40
= र4,00,000
(Application related money is transferred to debentures account so debenture account is credited)
Refunded amount = 3,000 debentures X 40
= र1,20,000
(Bank account is credited for refunded amount)
Adjusted in allotment = 1,000 debentures X 40
= र40,000
(Debenture Allotment account is credited for adjusted amount against allotment)
So, the total amount received र5,60,000, amount adjusted. So, the following journal entry is passed-
12% Debenture Application A/c Dr. र5,60,000
To 12% Debentures A/c र4,00,000
To Debentures Allotment A/c र40,000
To Bank A/c र1,20,000
(Adjustment of application money)
