At the dissolution of a firm, creditors appearing in the books at ₹20,000 were settled by paying ₹22,000. What will be the effect on the Realisation Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loss of ₹2,000

The creditors’ book liability was ₹20,000, but the firm paid ₹22,000 to settle it. The excess payment of ₹2,000 is a loss to the firm and is therefore recorded as a loss in the Realisation Account. When the settlement amount exceeds the book value of the liability, the difference is treated as a loss. Exam tip: Settlement amount − book liability = loss, so ₹22,000 − ₹20,000 = ₹2,000.
