Solution
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
