Pass the journal entry if A took 50% of the stock at a discount of 20%. Book value of stock is ₹4,00,000. |
A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹160000 A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹260000 Realisation A/c Dr. ₹160000 Realisation A/c Dr. ₹260000 |
A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹160000 |
The correct answer is option 1- Book value of stock= ₹4,00,000 Amount of stock taken by A = 2,00,000-40,000 A has taken over stock so his account is debited with this amount to show the decrease in his capital account an realisation account is credited as stock had already transferred to realisation account. So, journal entry will be- A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹1,60,000 |
