X's Capital = ₹1,25,030
Y's Capital = ₹2,070

Remaining assets realised at ₹1,24,910 and the dissolution expenses are ₹1,860. Both Partners are solvent.

In which of the following account payment of realisation is shown?

Options:

Cash A/c

Partner's Capital A/c

Balance sheet

Revaluation A/c

Correct Answer:

Cash A/c

The correct answer is option 1- Cash A/c.

If some expenses are incurred by the firm during the realisation of assets and payment of liabilities and the firm makes the payment, the entry will be as follows: Realisation Account Dr. To Bank/Cash Account
This entry reflects the payment made by the firm to settle the realisation expenses incurred during the dissolution process.
So, here journal entry will be-
 Realisation A/c Dr. ₹1,860
    To Cash A/c                ₹1,860
