Pass the necessary Journal entrires in the books of the company for the redemption of debentures.

Answer»

SOLUTION :

Note (1) : Since the debentures are redeemable fully out of profits, an AMOUNT equal to the total amount of debentures redeemed i.e., Rs.50,00,000 (and not 25% of Rs.50,00,000) has been transferred to DEBENTURE REDEMPTION RESERVE.
