Correct Answer: Debited incorporation expenses Rs 2, 00,000 credited Debentures account Rs 2,00,000


Solution : Answer = Debited incorporation expenses Rs 2, 00,000 credited Debentures account Rs 2,00,000

The correct journal entry for the issuance of debentures in exchange for services rendered by Amrit and Bhaskar is to debit the incorporation expenses account for the value of the services (Rs. 2,00,000) and credit the debentures account for the same amount (Rs. 2,00,000). This entry reflects the exchange of services for debentures.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
