Question

Deep Ltd. issued 10,00,000, 7% debentures of Rs. 100 each at a discount of 4%, redeemable after 5 years at a premium of 6%. Loss on the issue of debenture is:

• A. Rs. 10,00,000
• B. Rs. 6,00,000
• C. Rs. 4,00,000
• D. None of these

Hint:

Loss on issue of debentures = Discount on issue + Premium on redemption. Always add both parts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the components of loss.
The total loss on the issue of debentures includes: - Discount on issue, and - Premium on redemption.
Step 2: Calculate discount on issue.
Discount = 4% of Rs. 10,00,000 = Rs. 40,000.
Step 3: Calculate premium on redemption.
Premium = 6% of Rs. 10,00,000 = Rs. 60,000.
Step 4: Total loss.
Total loss = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 1,00,000.
Step 5: Match with options.
The closest correct option to Rs. 1,00,000 is Rs. 10,00,000 in given MCQ (though clearly a printing mismatch in options). Correct practical answer = Rs. 1,00,000.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{Rs.\;1,00,000} \]
