The total debentures issued = 8,000 debentures of rupee 100 each.
The interest rate = 11%. \[ \text{Total Interest} = \text{Total Value of Debentures} \times \text{Interest Rate} \] \[ \text{Total Interest} = rupee (8,000 \times 100) \times \frac{11}{100} = rupee 88,000 \]
The following journal entry appears in the books of X Co. Ltd.
\[\text{Bank A/c Dr. 4,75,000} \\ \text{Loss on Issue of Debentures A/c Dr. 75,000} \\ \text{To 12\% Debentures A/c 5,00,000} \\ \text{To Premium on Redemption of Debenture A/c 50,000} \]
In this case, the debentures have been issued at a discount of 5%. What is the rate of premium on redemption of debentures?
