Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Given:

  • Remuneration to Anubha: Rs. 8,500
  • Agreed to bear dissolution expenses: Up to Rs. 6,000
  • Actual expenses paid: Rs. 7,600

The question asks specifically for the journal entry for remuneration payable to Anubha.

Remuneration is the payment for services rendered in carrying out dissolution work. This is treated as a charge against the Realisation Account.

Journal Entry for Remuneration:

Realisation A/c Dr. 8,500

To Anubha's Capital A/c 8,500


The dissolution expenses are handled separately. Since Anubha agreed to bear expenses up to Rs. 6,000 but actual expenses were Rs. 7,600, the excess amount of Rs. 1,600 (7,600 - 6,000) will be borne by the firm and credited to Anubha separately. However, this is not part of the remuneration entry.

The remuneration entry only deals with Rs. 8,500, which means:

  • Statement (A) is correct - Realisation A/c is debited by 8,500
  • Statement (B) is correct - Anubha's Capital A/c is credited by 8,500
  • Statement (C) is incorrect - The debit is 8,500, not 13,600
  • Statement (D) is incorrect - The credit is 8,500, not 13,600

Correct Answer: Option 1 - (A) and (B) only
