           To stock A/C           75,000

No journal entry passed

Correct Answer:

No journal entry passed

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - No journal entry passed.

There can be 3 situations-

* If the creditor accepts an asset as full and final settlement, no journal entry is required.

* If the creditor accepts an asset as a partial payment, the entry is recorded for the cash payment portion only.

* If a creditor accepts an asset worth more than their outstanding debt, they will make a cash payment to the company for the remaining balance. In this case, the journal entry would be:
Debit: Bank or Cash A/c
Credit: Realisation A/c
