Book debts proved bad= ₹48,000

Investments= ₹40,000
Pass the journal entry for the remaining stock which is sold at a profit of 30% on cost, if A took 50% of the stock at a discount of 20%.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3-
Bank A/c Dr. ₹2,60,000
To Realisation A/c ₹2,60,000
(Stock sold)
Book value of stock= ₹4,00,000
50%,= ₹2,00,000
Discount = 200000 x 20/100
= 40,000
Taken by A= 2,00,000 - 40,000
= ₹1,60,000
Remaining stock= ₹2,00,000
Profit = 200000 x 30/100
= ₹60,000
Total amount = 2,00,000 + 60,000
= ₹2,60,000
So journal entry is-
Bank A/c Dr. ₹2,60,000
To Realisation A/c ₹2,60,000
(Stock sold)
Bank account is debited with the increase in cash balance of the firm and realisation account is credited as stock has been already transferred to realisation account.
