If the asset is taken over by the creditor in lieu of the amount due…

The correct answer is option 3- No entry.

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
