      To Bhuvan's Capital A/c  63,600

Interest on Bank Loan A/c Dr.  3,600
      To Bhuvan's Capital A/c            63,600

Correct Answer:

Realisation A/c Dr.   63,600
      To Bhuvan's Capital A/c  63,600

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-
Realisation A/c Dr.   63,600
      To Bhuvan's Capital A/c  63,600.

 

Loan amount = 60,000
Interest = 6%
Total amount paid = (Loan amount + Interest)
                           = [60,000 + (60,000 x 6/100)]
                           = (60,000 + 3,600)
                           = 63,600 

Bank loan is a outside liability which was transferred to realisation account and it is paid by partner so his capital account is credited. So, the correct journal entry is as follows-
Realisation A/c Dr.   63,600
      To Bhuvan's Capital A/c  63,600
