Working Note: Net assets acquired = 35,00,000 + 8,00,000 + 4,00,000 + 4,00,000 − 3,00,000 − 1,00,000 = ₹47,00,000 (no goodwill or capital reserve arises, since this equals the total purchase consideration). Balance payable by debentures = 47,00,000 − 7,00,000 = ₹40,00,000. Number of debentures = 40,00,000 ÷ 25 = 1,60,000.
