LIABILITIES AMOUNT (₹) ASSETS AMOUNT (₹)
Loan by B 20,000 Goodwill 30,000
Capitals   Furniture 40,000

B 1,40,000 2,40,000 Debtors 50,000
    Cash 50,000
  2,60,000   2,60,000

It was agreed that following transactions will take place:

a) A wanted to start the business in sole proprietorship so he took building and furniture at 10% less than book value.
b) All the debtors proved good except a person C who did not pay ₹10,000

Following items appear on the Debit side of Realisation A/C except:

A. Transfer of Assets
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:

The correct answer is option 4- C & E only.

* 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 in case of Provisions and Asset taken over by partner.
