In case of dissolution, identify where the unrecorded liabilities when paid are shown:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Debit of Realisation account
An unrecorded liability is not in the books, so it was not transferred to Realisation Account. When it is paid on dissolution, the payment is a cost of realisation: Realisation A/c Dr. To Bank A/c. So it appears on the debit side of Realisation Account.
Option (2) Credit of Realisation account — Incorrect. The credit side of Realisation Account records liabilities transferred and assets realised in cash, not liabilities paid.
Option (3) Credit of capital account — Incorrect. A partner’s capital account is credited only when the partner himself takes over or pays a liability.
Option (4) Debit of Bank account — Incorrect. Payment reduces cash, so Bank Account is credited, not debited.
