Which account is debited when adjusting the "Calls in Advance" with the appropriate call money due? |
Equity Account Particular Call Account Bank Account Calls in Advance Account |
Calls in Advance Account |
The correct answer is option 4- Calls in Advance Account. When adjusting the "Calls in Advance" with the appropriate call money due, the correct account to debit is the Calls in Advance Account.
On the due date of the calls, the amount of ‘Calls in Advance’ is adjusted by the following entry : The balance in ‘Calls in Advance’ account is shown as a separate item under the title Equity and Liabilities in the company’s balance sheet under the head ‘current liabilities’, as sub-head ‘others current liabilities’. It is not added to the amount of paid-up capital. As ‘Calls in Advance’ is a liability of the company, it is under obligation, if provided by the Articles, to pay interest on such amount from the date of its receipt up to the date when appropriate call is due for payment. A stipulation is generally made in the Articles regarding the rate at which interest is payable. However, if Articles are silent on this account, Table F is applicable which provides for interest on calls in advance at a rate not exceeding 12% per annum. |
