Dissolution of Partnership Firm

Question:

Unrecorded assets when taken over by a partner are shown in:

Options:

Debit of Bank A/c

Debit of Realisation A/c

Credit of Bank A/c

Credit of Realisation A/c

Correct Answer:

Credit of Realisation A/c

Explanation:

For an asset taken over by a partner-
Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
      To Realisation A/c

When unrecorded assets are taken over by a partner, it is shown in the Credit of Realisation A/c.

Here's the reasoning:

  • Unrecorded assets are those that are not yet reflected in the books of accounts.
  • When a partner takes over such assets, they need to be brought into the books and accounted for.
  • This is done by recording the asset on the credit side of the Realisation Account.
  • The Realisation Account is used to record all the gains and losses arising from the realization of assets, including unrecorded assets.
