Goodwill Rs 6,00,000; balance of Rs 8,80,000 paid by 8,000 debentures (face 8,00,000 + premium 80,000).

Net assets taken over = Assets - Creditors = 16,00,000 - 4,00,000 = 12,00,000.

Purchase consideration = 18,00,000, so Goodwill = 18,00,000 - 12,00,000 = 6,00,000.

Balance payable by debentures = 18,00,000 - 9,20,000 (cheque) = 8,80,000.

Debentures issued at 10% premium, so issue price = 110 each; number = 8,80,000 / 110 = 8,000 debentures (face value 8,00,000 + premium 80,000).
