Here are the ledger accounts to close the books for the dissolution of the firm:

  1. Prepare the Realisation Account.

    Assets (excluding cash) are transferred to the debit side, and external liabilities and provisions are transferred to the credit side. Realisation proceeds and payments are then recorded.

    Calculation of Loss on Realisation:
    Total Credit = ₹20,000+₹1,000+₹45,000+₹18,500+₹22,000+₹5,000=₹111,500₹20,000 + ₹1,000 + ₹45,000 + ₹18,500 + ₹22,000 + ₹5,000 = ₹111,500
    Total Debit (before loss distribution) = ₹40,000+₹6,000+₹19,000+₹25,000+₹19,000+₹3,500=₹113,500₹40,000 + ₹6,000 + ₹19,000 + ₹25,000 + ₹19,000 + ₹3,500 = ₹113,500
    Loss on Realisation = ₹113,500−₹111,500=₹2,000₹113,500 - ₹111,500 = ₹2,000.
    Correction: The hint states "Realiz loss 1000". Let's recheck the calculation.
    Assets transferred: 40000+6000+19000+25000=9000040000+6000+19000+25000 = 90000
    Liabilities transferred: 20000+1000=2100020000+1000 = 21000
    Assets realized: 45000+18500+22000=8550045000+18500+22000 = 85500
    Patents taken over: 5000
    Creditors paid: 19000
    Expenses: 3500

    Realisation Account Debit Side:
    To Plant & Machinery A/c: ₹40,000
    To Patents A/c: ₹6,000
    To Sundry Debtors A/c: ₹19,000
    To Stock A/c: ₹25,000
    To Cash A/c (Creditors Paid): ₹19,000
    To Cash A/c (Realisation Expenses): ₹3,500
    Total Debit (before loss) = 40000+6000+19000+25000+19000+3500=112,50040000+6000+19000+25000+19000+3500 = 112,500

    Realisation Account Credit Side:
    By Sundry Creditors A/c: ₹20,000
    By Provision for Doubtful Debts A/c: ₹1,000
    By Cash A/c (Assets Realised): ₹45,000 + ₹18,500 + ₹22,000 = ₹85,500
    By Fast's Capital A/c (Patents taken over): ₹5,000
    Total Credit (before loss) = 20000+1000+85500+5000=111,50020000+1000+85500+5000 = 111,500

    Loss on Realisation = Total Debit - Total Credit = ₹112,500−₹111,500=₹1,000₹112,500 - ₹111,500 = ₹1,000.
    This matches the hint.

    Distribution of Loss:
    Profit sharing ratio Fast:Quick = 3:2.
    Fast's share of loss = ₹1,000×35=₹600₹1,000 \times \frac{3}{5} = ₹600
    Quick's share of loss = ₹1,000×25=₹400₹1,000 \times \frac{2}{5} = ₹400

    The Realisation Account is correctly balanced with a loss of ₹1,000.

  2. Prepare Fast's Loan Account.

    Fast's Loan is an external liability and must be paid off.

  3. Prepare Partners' Capital Accounts.

    Initial balances, general reserve, realisation loss, and assets taken over are recorded. The final balances are paid off by cash.

    General Reserve Distribution:
    Total General Reserve = ₹10,000
    Fast's share = ₹10,000×35=₹6,000₹10,000 \times \frac{3}{5} = ₹6,000
    Quick's share = ₹10,000×25=₹4,000₹10,000 \times \frac{2}{5} = ₹4,000

    Fast's Capital Account

    Fast's Final Settlement: ₹30,000+₹6,000−₹5,000−₹600=₹30,400₹30,000 + ₹6,000 - ₹5,000 - ₹600 = ₹30,400. This matches the hint "Settlement 30400".

    Quick's Capital Account

    Quick's Final Settlement: ₹25,000+₹4,000−₹400=₹28,600₹25,000 + ₹4,000 - ₹400 = ₹28,600. This matches the hint "Settlement 28600".

  4. Prepare the Cash Account.

    All cash receipts and payments are recorded. The account should balance at the end.

    Cash Account Total:
    Debit side = ₹6,000+₹45,000+₹18,500+₹22,000=₹91,500₹6,000 + ₹45,000 + ₹18,500 + ₹22,000 = ₹91,500.
    Credit side = ₹19,000+₹3,500+₹10,000+₹30,400+₹28,600=₹91,500₹19,000 + ₹3,500 + ₹10,000 + ₹30,400 + ₹28,600 = ₹91,500.
