In the case of the Dissolution of partnership firm, which accounts are opened:
(A) Realization Account
(B) Revaluation Account
(C) Partners Capital Account
(D) Bank Account
Solution
When a partnership firm is dissolved, the following accounts are opened:
Realization Account (A): This account is specifically opened at the time of dissolution to record:
- Transfer of all assets (except cash/bank)
- Transfer of all liabilities (except partners' capital/loans)
- Realization expenses
- Sale proceeds of assets
- Payment to external liabilities
- Profit or loss on realization
Partners' Capital Accounts (C): These accounts continue to exist and are used to:
- Transfer the profit/loss on realization
- Settle the final amounts due to or from partners
Bank Account (D): This account is used to record all cash and bank transactions during the dissolution process, such as:
- Receipt from sale of assets
- Payment to creditors
- Payment of realization expenses
- Final settlement with partners
Revaluation Account (B) is NOT opened during dissolution. Revaluation Account is opened during reconstitution of the firm (admission, retirement, or death of a partner) to adjust the values of assets and liabilities. During dissolution, we don't revalue - we actually sell the assets and realize their actual values, which is recorded in the Realization Account.
Therefore, the accounts opened are (A), (C) and (D) only.
