  • Assets purchased:
    • Land and Building: Rs. 6,50,000
    • Office Equipment: Rs. 3,40,000
  • Total assets purchased: Rs. 6,50,000 + Rs. 3,40,000 = Rs. 9,90,000

Calculations:

  • Nominal value of shares issued: 9,000 × Rs. 100 = Rs. 9,00,000
  • Premium received: 9,000 × Rs. 10 = Rs. 90,000
  • Total amount received from shareholders: Rs. 9,00,000 + Rs. 90,000 = Rs. 9,90,000

Calculations:

  • Face value of debentures: 5,000 × Rs. 100 = Rs. 5,00,000
  • Discount on redemption: 5% of Rs. 5,00,000 = Rs. 25,000
  • Amount paid at redemption: Rs. 5,00,000 – Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 4,75,000
