issue of debenture on discount means you will receive 20% less than the face value of debentures in the given case as the debentures are issued as consideration for machinery so I presumed 80,000 is paid in cash. So accounting entries will be : Machinery account Dr 400,000 Discount on issue of Deb Dr 80,000 Debentures account Cr 400,000 Cash account Cr 80,000.

 

The entry is 

Fixed Asset A/c Dr 400000

Discount on debentures A/c dr 100000

To debentures A/c 500000

how you calculate discount./ pls xplain...

 

4,00,000 is payable. Issue price is Rs. 80 (assuming face value 100) No. of deb. To be issued =400000/80=5000 disc dr. 5000*20=100000
