`= 300000 xx 15/100 = "Rs" 45000`
Note:
1. Here, the entry for transferring the amount of DRR to General Reserve A/c has been passed with 50% of DRR amount, since the company has not fully redeemed all its debentures. Therefore, 50% of DRR amount i.e. 50% of 1,50,000, transferred to General Reserve.
2. Entries for interest on debentures have been ignored in the above solution as the question was silent in this regards. However, the students' may journalise the entries related to interest on debentures as given below.
