Answer

Debt-Equity Ratio = 2 : 1
Let Long-term loan = ₹ 20,00,000
Shareholders’ Funds = ₹ 10,00,000
  1. Sale of Land (Book Value ₹ 4,00,000) for ₹ 5,00,000 - Decrease
Reason: This transaction will result increase in Shareholders’ Funds by ₹ 1,00,000 as profit on sale of Land.

Shareholders’ Funds after adjusting profit on sale of land = 10,00,000 + 1,00,000 = ₹ 11,00,000

$\text{Debt-Equity Ratio}=\frac{20,00,000}{11,00,000}=1.81:1$
  1. Issue of Equity share for the purchase of plant and Machinery worth ₹ 10,00,000 - Decrease.
Reason: This transaction will increase the amount of Shareholders Fund by ₹ 10,00,000 in the form of equity shares and have no effect on Long-term Loans.

$\text{Debt-Equity Ratio}=\frac{20,00,000}{(10,00,000+10,00,000)}=1:1$
  1. Issue of preference Shares for redemption of 13% Debentures worth ₹ 10,00,000- Decrease.
Reason: This transaction will lead to decrease in Long-term Loan by ₹ 10,00,000 in the form of redemption of debentures and increase in Shareholders’ Funds with the same amount in the form of Preference Shares.

$\text{Debt-Equity Ratio}=\frac{(20,00,000-10,00,000)}{(10,00,000+10,00,000)}=0.5:1$
