What journal entry is made when debentures are issued at a discount in exchange for assets? |
Vendors A/c Dr. Debentures A/c Dr. Vendors Dr. Vendors Dr. |
Vendors Dr. |
The correct answer is option 3-
Debit the Vendor's Account (Vendors Dr.) to account for the assets received from the vendor. Debit the Discount on Issue of Debenture Account (Discount on Issue of Debenture A/c) to record the amount of the discount given to the vendor. Credit the Debentures Account (Debentures A/c) to record the issuance of debentures at their face value. This entry ensures that both the assets acquired and the discount offered on the issuance of debentures are properly recorded in the company's books. |
