Answer

(I) Entries for Purchase of Assets and Issue of Shares

Step 1: Determine the Number of Shares Issued

The company purchased assets worth Rs. 5,50,000 by issuing shares of Rs. 100 each at a 10% premium.

  • Face value of each share = Rs. 100
  • Premium per share = 10% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 10
  • Issue price per share = Face value + Premium = Rs. 110

To raise Rs. 5,50,000, the number of shares issued is calculated as:

Step 2: Journal Entries

  1. Entry for Purchase of Assets (at agreed price)

    Plant A/c           Dr. 2,60,000
    Building A/c        Dr. 3,65,000
    To Assets Purchased A/c     5,50,000
    (Being assets purchased at an agreed price)
    
  2. Entry for Issue of Shares (at premium)

    Bank A/c            Dr. 5,50,000
    To Share Capital A/c       5,00,000
    To Securities Premium A/c  50,000
    (Being 5,000 shares of Rs. 100 each issued at 10% premium)
    

(II) Entries for Issue and Redemption of Debentures

Step 1: Issue of Debentures at Par

The company issued 4,000 debentures of Rs. 100 each at par.

  • Total issue amount = 4,000 × Rs. 100 = Rs. 4,00,000

Journal Entry:

Bank A/c            Dr. 4,00,000
To 10% Debentures A/c     4,00,000
(Being 4,000 debentures issued at par)

Step 2: Redemption of Debentures at 10% Premium

After 5 years, the debentures are redeemed at a 10% premium.

  • Premium per debenture = 10% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 10
  • Redemption amount per debenture = Face value + Premium = Rs. 110
  • Total redemption amount = 4,000 × Rs. 110 = Rs. 4,40,000

Journal Entry:

10% Debentures A/c   Dr. 4,00,000
Premium on Redemption of Debentures A/c Dr. 40,000
To Bank A/c               4,40,000
(Being debentures redeemed at 10% premium)

Step 3: Transfer of Premium to General Reserve (if required)

If the company transfers the premium to General Reserve, an additional entry is made:

Premium on Redemption of Debentures A/c Dr. 40,000
To General Reserve A/c     40,000
(Being premium on redemption transferred to General Reserve)
