Stock at the time of dissolution was appearing in books at Rs 50,000. Half of the stock was sold at a discount of 20% and the remaining was taken over by one of the partners at a 10% discount. What amount was received in cash at the time of realization of stock.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Book value of stock = Rs 50,000

Half of stock = Rs 50,000 ÷ 2 = Rs 25,000


First half - Sold in market:

Value = Rs 25,000

Discount = 20%

Amount received = Rs 25,000 - (20% of Rs 25,000)

Amount received = Rs 25,000 - Rs 5,000 = Rs 20,000 (Cash)


Second half - Taken over by partner:

Value = Rs 25,000

Discount = 10%

Amount = Rs 25,000 - (10% of Rs 25,000)

Amount = Rs 25,000 - Rs 2,500 = Rs 22,500 (Not in cash)

When a partner takes over an asset, the amount is debited to the partner's capital account. No cash is received.


Cash received from realization of stock = Rs 20,000

The correct answer is Option 2.
