B. Payment of liabilities
C. Provisions
D. Realisation expenses
E. Asset taken over by partner
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:


Options:

A, C & E only

C, D, E only

D & E only

C & E only

Correct Answer:

C & E only

Explanation:

* Transfer all asset accounts, except for cash, bank accounts, and any fictitious assets, if present, to the debit side of the Realisation Account at their respective book values. Notably, sundry debtors should be transferred at their gross value, and any provision for doubtful debts should be moved to the credit side of the Realisation Account, alongside the liabilities. The same treatment applies to fixed assets if a provision for depreciation account is in use.
* If any partner takes over the asset then the journal entry will be- Partner's Capital A/c
                                                                                                                   To Realisation A/c
So, it means realisation account is credited.
