What is done with the investment account on dissolution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Transferred to Realisation Account

The direct answer is B: the investment account is transferred to the Realisation Account. On dissolution, the firm must close its asset accounts and realise or sell the assets. Investments are assets, just like machinery, furniture, or debtors, so their book value is transferred to Realisation Account. The usual entry is Realisation Account Dr. to Investment Account. Later, if the investment is sold, the cash received is recorded on the credit side of Realisation Account. Option B is correct because it follows the general dissolution rule for assets. Option A is wrong because an investment is not added directly to partners’ capital; any profit or loss on realisation is ultimately shared through the realisation result. Option C is wrong because leaving the investment account open would prevent proper closure of the books. Option D is wrong because Sales Account is used for ordinary sales of goods, not for transferring a non-trading investment during dissolution. The memory cue is: at dissolution, transfer every recorded asset except cash and bank to Realisation Account.
