Best answer

(a) To Compensate its Floatation Cost of Issuing 9 % Debentures, the Finance Manager of “Foods India Ltd.” should Issue “Commercial Paper” for this Purpose. Commercial Papers are “Unsecured Promissory Note” used to meet the Floatation Cost, which is used to Raise Long Term Funds . These Papers were Introduced in India for the first time in tye year 1990. 

(b) Such Instruments are Traded in the “Money Market” and Commercial Paper is a Short Term Unsecured Promissory Note . So it is Beneficial for the Company to Issue such Instruments, as No Security is required to be provided by the Company.
