Advertisements
उत्तर
On dissolution of a firm, all the books of account are closed, all assets are sold and all liabilities are paid off. In order to record the sale of assets and discharge of liabilities, a nominal account is opened named Realisation Account. The main purpose to open Realisation Account is to ascertain the profit or loss due to the realisation of assets and liabilities. Realisation profit (if credit side > debit side) or realisation loss (if debit side > credit side) are transferred to the Partner's Capital Account in their profit sharing ratio.
Concisely, following are the important objectives of preparing Realisation Account.
1) To close all the books of account.
2) To record transactions relating to the sale of assets and discharge of liabilities.
3) To determine profit or loss due to the realisation of assets and liabilities.
