Debenture interest is typically paid to the debenture holders, who are creditors of the issuing company. This interest represents the cost of borrowing for the company and is usually paid at predetermined intervals, such as annually or semi-annually. The interest payments are considered an expense for the company, reducing its taxable income, while providing a fixed income stream for the investors holding the debentures.

To record the payment of debenture interest, you need to make a journal entry that debits the interest expense account and credits the cash account.

Always ensure that the amount recorded matches the terms specified in the debenture agreement.

The face value of a debenture, also known as its par value or principal amount, is the amount that the issuer agrees to pay the debenture holder at maturity. It is typically the original investment amount and is used to calculate interest payments, which are usually expressed as a percentage of the face value. For example, if a debenture has a face value of $1,000 and an interest rate of 5%, the holder would receive $50 in interest annually until maturity.
