Purchase consideration = 4,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 1,50,000 = 7,50,000. Paid 1,50,000 by cheque; balance 6,00,000 by 12% Debentures of 100 at 25% premium (125 each) = 4,800 debentures (face 4,80,000 + premium 1,20,000).

Working (West Bengal HS Accountancy — issue of debentures for consideration other than cash):

  • Total assets taken over = Building 4,00,000 + Machinery 2,00,000 + Stock 1,50,000 = 7,50,000.
  • Less paid by cheque = 1,50,000. Balance settled by debentures = 6,00,000.
  • Issue price per debenture = 100 + 25% = 125. Number of debentures = 6,00,000 / 125 = 4,800.
  • Face value = 4,800 x 100 = 4,80,000; Securities Premium = 4,800 x 25 = 1,20,000.
