Number of debentures issued = Purchase Consideration ÷ Issue price per debenture = 16,20,000 ÷ 180 = 9,000 debentures.

Step 1 — Find the issue price per debenture:

Face value per debenture = ₹150

Premium on issue = 20% of ₹150 = ₹30

Issue price per debenture = ₹150 + ₹30 = ₹180

Step 2 — Find the number of debentures to be issued:

When a company purchases assets from a vendor and settles the purchase consideration by issuing debentures (instead of cash), the number of debentures issued is calculated as:

Number of Debentures = Purchase Consideration ÷ Issue Price per Debenture

= ₹16,20,000 ÷ ₹180

= 9,000 Debentures

Check: 9,000 debentures × ₹180 = ₹16,20,000, which exactly equals the purchase consideration — confirming the figure is correct.
