In case of dissolution, assets are transferred to debit side of Realisation Account at .....................value. |
Book Value Market Value Cost or Market Value, whichever is lower None of the Above |
Book Value |
The correct answer is option 1- At Book Value. All asset accounts excluding cash, bank and the fictitious assets, if any are closed by transfer to the debit of Realisation Account at their book values. It may be noted that sundry debtors are transferred at gross value and the provision for doubtful debts is transferred to the credit side of Realisation Account along with liabilities. The same thing will apply to fixed assets, if provision for depreciation account is maintained. All assets are transferred at book value because the main purpose to open realization account is to ascertain the profit or loss due to realization of assets and liabilities. If assets are not recorded at book value actual profit or loss can not be ascertained. |
