Question
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
On dissolution, cash/bank account is closed automatically.
Advertisements
Solution
I agree with the given statement.
Explanation:
On dissolution, the cash or bank account is closed automatically because if the capital accounts show any balance, then such balance is transferred to the cash or bank account. This is done so that both the sides of the cash or bank account account show the same balance. This is because of the double-entry system of book-keeping.
