Question

Sunlock Ltd. purchased assets of book value \u20b9 50,00,000 and took over liabilities of \u20b9 6,00,000 from Moondock Ltd. It paid the purchase consideration by issue of \u20b9 46,00,000, 8% debentures of \u20b9 100 each at a discount of 10%. Record the journal entries in the books of Sunlock Ltd.

Hint:

When debentures are issued at discount, include the discount in debit side and calculate debentures based on issue price.

Answer 1

Calculation:

Issue price per debenture = ₹100 − 10% = ₹90

Number of debentures = ₹46,00,000 ÷ ₹90 = 51,111.11 ≈ 51,112 debentures (rounded)

Journal Entries:

1. For acquisition of assets and liabilities:

Particulars	Dr (₹)	Cr (₹)

(Issuance of 51,112 debentures of ₹100 each at a 10% discount to settle consideration)
