Question : If vendor are issued debentures of Rs 1,00,000 in consideration of net assets of Rs 1,20,000, the balance of Rs 20,000 will be credited to
Option 1: Statement of profit and loss
Option 2: Goodwill
Option 3: Capital reserve
Option 4: General reserve
Correct Answer: Capital reserve
Solution : Answer = Capital reserve
When debentures are issued to vendors as consideration for net assets exceeding their nominal value, the excess amount is credited to the Capital Reserve. This reserve represents the surplus generated from the transaction and is not distributable as dividends, thereby maintaining the integrity of the company's capital structure.
