b

The credit side of Realisation Account

c

The credit side of Partner's Capital/Current Account

d

The debit side of Partner's Capital/Current Account

✓ Correct answer: a)

The debit side of Realisation Account

Explanation

Option A

On the dissolution of a partnership firm, all existing assets appearing in the Balance Sheet (excluding cash, bank balances, and fictitious assets) are closed by transferring their book values to the debit side of the Realisation Account.

Goodwill is treated as an intangible asset. Like other tangible assets, such as machinery or stock, it is transferred to the Realisation Account to facilitate the winding-up process.

d

Outside creditors

✓ Correct answer: d)

Outside creditors

Explanation

Correct Answer: (D) Outside Creditors

Why Correct?

At the time of dissolution, the first priority is given to payment of outside liabilities.
Therefore, the amount realised from sale of assets is first used to pay outside creditors, and only after that partners’ loans and capital are settled.

Why Others Are Incorrect?

(A) Partners’ Capitals — Wrong
Partners’ capital is paid only after all outside liabilities and partners’ loans are settled.

(B) Partners’ Additional Capital — Wrong
Additional capital is part of partners’ capital and is settled at the last stage.

(C) Partners’ Loan to Firm — Wrong
Partners’ loans are paid after outside creditors but before capital, not first.
