An old liability of ₹40,000 is to be settled immediately at a 10 percent discount. What result appears in Revaluation Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹4,000 profit

The liability has a book value of ₹40,000, but the firm will settle it at a 10% discount. The discount is ₹40,000 × 10/100 = ₹4,000, so the amount actually paid is ₹36,000. The firm is released from an obligation of ₹40,000 by paying only ₹36,000; the saving of ₹4,000 is a gain. At reconstitution, such a gain is credited to Revaluation Account, while the liability account is closed or adjusted for the settlement amount as appropriate. The complete liability amount is not the gain; only the difference between the recorded obligation and the settlement amount is relevant. Therefore option A is correct.
