What will be the allotment entry? Please explain.
Q.11. Alka Ltd. issued 5,000, 10 % Debentures of Rs. 1,000 each at a discount of 10 % redeemable at a premium of 5 % after 5 years. According to the terms of issue Rs. 500 was payable on application and the balance amount on allotment of debentures. Record necessary entries regarding issue of 10 % Debentures.

Dear Student

Here on the allotment, you have to book allotment money as well as discount and premium on redemption of debentures.
Firstly we would determine the amount to be received on the allotment (calculation shown below), then just calculate Discount and Premium on redemption. 
Now you have to pass a simple allotment entry along with booking of premium and discount as shown below.
In case you get confused with the multiple items in the entry, you can pass separate entry for booking discount and premium.
