At the time of dissolution, if a creditor takes over an asset of the firm in settlement of the creditor’s claim, what will be the accounting effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Adjustment in Creditors’ Account

When a creditor takes over an asset, the creditor’s liability is settled to the extent of the asset’s agreed value. Thus, the Creditors’ Account is adjusted; generally, the entry is Creditors’ Account Dr. to Realisation Account. It is not a cash receipt. Any profit or loss depends on the difference between the asset’s book value and its agreed value, so profit does not necessarily increase. Exam tip: Treat an asset taken over by a creditor as a settlement of liability, not as cash realised.
