1,20,000

2,20,000

Correct Answer:

2,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 2,00,000

  • Number of Debentures Issued: 2,000

  • Face Value of each Debenture: Rs. 100

  • Total Face Value of Debentures: 2,000 debentures×Rs. 100/debenture=Rs. 2,00,000

This Rs. 2,00,000 represents the principal amount that ABC Industries Ltd. owes to the debenture holders and is classified as Long-term Borrowings on the Balance Sheet.

The premium of Rs. 10 per debenture (Total Premium=2,000×Rs. 10=Rs. 20,000) is a capital profit and is credited to the Securities Premium Reserve Account.
