At the time of dissolution of a partnership firm, creditors payable ₹42,000 are settled in full by paying ₹40,000 in cash. What is the realisation gain from this transaction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹2,000

The creditors were payable ₹42,000, but only ₹40,000 was paid to settle them. Therefore, the amount saved is ₹42,000 − ₹40,000 = ₹2,000, which is a gain on realisation and is credited to the Realisation Account. ₹40,000 is the settlement amount, not the gain. Exam tip: settling creditors for less than the amount due creates a realisation gain; paying more creates a loss.
