Important Notes:
- Company had already made Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) Rs 2,00,000 to redeem debentures Rs 3,50,000. However these debentures are to be paid fully out of profit. In order to pay all the debentures out of profit, there is a need to transfer Rs 1,50,000 to the DRR, so that the amount in DRR becomes Rs 3,50,000.
- Premium on Redemption of Debentures has been considered as a liability at the time of allotment of debentures, thereby the Loss on Issue of Debentures has been debited against the Premium on Redemption of Debentures. The Premium on Redemption of Debentures will not be debited to the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account as the Loss on Issue of Debentures has been assumed to be written off from the Profit and Loss Account.
