All the necessary transactions are done in partners current account and the balance will be transferred to fixed capital account of partner. Current account balance will be carried to partners fixed capital and then all transactions will be done in fixed capital account. Current account of partners will be settled by paying off and other transactions will be done in fixed capital account. Current account and Fixed capital account are kept separate. |
All the necessary transactions are done in partners current account and the balance will be transferred to fixed capital account of partner. |
The correct answer is Option (1) → All the necessary transactions are done in partners current account and the balance will be transferred to fixed capital account of partner. All dissolution-related transactions are initially recorded in the partners' current accounts. Once all transactions are completed, and the final balances are determined, these balances are then transferred to the fixed capital accounts. This method ensures that the current account accurately reflects the partner's share of the dissolution process before being moved to the fixed capital account. |
