Journal entry for recording unrecorded computers at the time of admission of a partner is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Computers A/c Dr. To Revaluation A/c
At the time of admission, assets and liabilities are revalued through the Revaluation Account, and an asset that was never recorded is brought into the books in the same way. Bringing in an asset the firm already owns is a gain, so the asset account is debited and the Revaluation Account is credited. The gain is later shared by the old partners in the old ratio when the Revaluation Account is closed.
Crediting the old partners’ capital accounts directly skips the Revaluation Account, which the book uses for every such adjustment at admission.
