General conditions regulate the issue and redemption terms of debentures. Which of the following issue/redemption scenarios is NOT standard or valid in accounting practice?

  1. A
    Issued at par and redeemable at par
  2. B
    Issued at a premium and redeemable at par
  3. C
    Issued at par and redeemable at a premium
  4. D
    Issued at a discount and redeemable at a discount

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Debentures can be issued at par, premium, or discount, and are usually redeemable either at par or at a premium to reward investors. However, a company never issues debentures with a clause stating they will be redeemed at a discount, as reducing the principal payback value below face value is unviable for public investors. Thus, Option D is not true.
