Solution

Debenture residual is an amount which has not yet recovered through mortgage selling. Building is the mortgage of debenture. Since the company goes into liquidation, the debenture amount should be paid off by the realization of building; the unpaid amount should be treated as debenture residual.

[Note: Book value of building is not important hear]

Debenture residual = Book value of debentures – Realization of building

                                    = 1,660,000 – 1,200,000

                                    = $460,000 (Answer)
