Sufficient funds are required to redeem debentures at the end of a
specified period. To meet this requirement, the company may decide to create a sinking fund and invest adequate amount in marketable securities or bonds of other business entities. Normally, a company ensures that an equal amount is set aside every year to arrange the necessary funds at the time of redemption. This is called Sinking Fund method according to which the company makes necessary arrangements and sets aside a part of divisible profit every year and invest the same outside the business in marketable securities. An appropriate amount is calculated by referring to on Sinking Fund Table depending upon the rate of return on investments and the number of years for which investments are made. The amount thus ascertained is transferred from profits every year to Debenture Redemption Fund or Sinking Fund and its investment is termed as Debenture Redemption Fund Investment or Sinking Fund Investment. These investment earn certain amount of income (call it interest) which is reinvested together with the fixed appropriated amount for the purpose in subsequent years. Journal Entries 1.
