Tunde and Chidi decided to dissolve their partnership firm. At the date of dissolution, total assets with a book value of ₦120,000₦120,000 were transferred to the Realization Account. These assets were realized for ₦135,000₦135,000, and dissolution expenses amounting to ₦4,000₦4,000 were paid. What is the profit on realization in Naira (₦₦)?

Cevap: 11000 ₦

Cevap

The profit on realization is ₦11,000₦11,000.
The Realization Account is debited with the book value of assets (₦120,000₦120,000) and dissolution expenses (₦4,000₦4,000), giving a total debit balance of ₦124,000₦124,000. It is credited with the asset sale proceeds of ₦135,000₦135,000. The excess credit of ₦11,000₦11,000 represents the net profit on realization.
