Options:

Partner's Capital Account Credit with ₹17,000

Realisation Account Credit with ₹17,000

Partner's Capital Account debit with ₹17,000

Partner's Capital Account Debit with ₹14,000

Correct Answer:

Partner's Capital Account Debit with ₹14,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- Partner's Capital Account Debit with ₹14,000.

For an asset taken over by a partner, journal entry will be:
Partner’s Capital A/c Dr. 14,000
      To Realisation A/c 14,000

Realisation amount or tookover amount is 14,000 and entry is passed for that amount in the accounts. Partners capital account is debited as his capital balance is reduced by that amount.
