It was decided to invest the required amount in Debenture Redemption Investment. Pass necessary journal entries for the redemption of debentures.

Answer»

Solution :
Notes : (1) SINCE the debentures are to be redeembed purely out of PROFITS, an AMOUNT equal to 100% of DEBENTURE redeemed i.e., Rs.10,00,000 is transferred to Debenture Redemption Reserve. If such Reserve is created only with 25%of the total amount of debentures redeemed, it would mean that remaining 75% of the debentures have been redeemed out of CAPITAL.
