The firm was dissolved on the above date:
(1) Nayana took over 50% of the stock at 10% less on its book value, and the remaining stock was sold at a gain of 15%. Furniture and Machinery realised for ₹30,000 and ₹50,000 respectively.
(2) There was an unrecorded investment which was sold for ₹34,000
(3) Debtors realised 90% only and ₹1,200 were recovered for bad debts written-off last year.
(4) There was an outstanding bill for repairs which had to be paid for ₹2,000
Calculate the total amount realised in Cash/Bank at the time of dissolution of the firm from sale of assets & recovery.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹1,57,825
Only the assets that bring in cash are counted. Stock taken over by Nayana brings no cash; it is debited to her account.
Remaining stock (50% of ₹35,000) sold at 15% gain = ₹17,500 + ₹2,625 = ₹20,125
Furniture ₹30,000 + Machinery ₹50,000 = ₹80,000
Unrecorded investment sold = ₹34,000
Debtors realised = 90% of ₹25,000 = ₹22,500
Bad debts recovered = ₹1,200
Total cash realised = ₹20,125 + ₹80,000 + ₹34,000 + ₹22,500 + ₹1,200 = ₹1,57,825
