If a contingent liability crystallises and is also paid, but the payment is not recorded in the Realisation Account, what will be the effect on the profit of the Realisation Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit will be overstated

When a contingent liability crystallises and is paid, the amount paid is debited to the Realisation Account, increasing the loss. If this entry is omitted, the loss is understated and the profit of the Realisation Account is overstated. Therefore, option B is incorrect because the profit does not decrease; it increases artificially. Exam tip: A contingent liability affects the Realisation Account when it crystallises or is settled; a merely potential liability has no immediate accounting effect.
