Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A) and (D) only

(B) and (D) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (D) only

Anubha agreed to bear expenses up to ₹6,000. → If the actual expenses are more than ₹6,000, the excess (₹1,600) must be borne by the firm.

So, the firm will bear: ₹1,600 (excess) and Anubha will get remuneration ₹8,500.

Realisation A/c to be debited with: ₹8,500+₹1,600 = ₹10,100

Anubha’s Capital A/c will be credited with her remuneration (since the firm owes her): 8,500+₹1,600

                                                 =₹10,100

Note: Anubha is a guarantor for Rs. 6,000: The firm will reimburse the excess paid by her: Rs. 7,600Rs. 6,000=Rs. 1,600.

(i) Realisation A/c Dr. 8,500

               To Anubha's Capital A/c

(Remuneration payable to Anubha) 8,500

(ii) Realisation A/c Dr.1,600

             To Anubha's Capital A/c 1,600

(Dissolution expenses paid by Anubha on behalf of the firm)
