Q3 : On dissolution, how you deal with partner’s loan if it appears on the
(a) Assets side of the Balance Sheet
(b) Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet
Answer :
a) If  partner’s loan appears on the assets side of the Balance Sheet then it implies that the partner has taken loan from the business and is liable to pay back to the business. In such case, the loan amount is transferred to his capital
account. Thus the accounting entry will be:

Partner’s Capital A/c		Dr.
	To Partner’s Loan A/c
(Partner’s loan transferred to Partner’s Capital Account)

b) If partner’s loan appears on the liabilities side  of the Balance Sheet then it implies that the partner has forwarded loan to the firm and the firm is liable to pay back the amount to the partner. In such case, partner’s loan is paid off after paying all the external liabilities. The  partner’s loan is not transferred to the Realisation Account, in fact, it is
paid in cash. The following accounting entry is passed.-

Partner’s Loan A/c		Dr.

(Partner’s loan paid in cash)

Answer:

Basis of Difference	Firm’s Debts	Partner’s Private Debts
Meaning	It refers to those debts that are borrowed against the name of the firm.	It refers to those debts that are borrowed personally by the partner.
Liability	All the partners of the firm are jointly and separately liable for the firm’s debt.	The concerned partner is personally liable for his private debts.
Settlement of debts by private assets	If the firm’s debt exceeds the firm’s assets, then private assets of the partners may be utilised to pay back the firm’s debt, if only  the partner’s  private assets exceeds his/her own private debts.	Private debts are settled against the partner’s private assets. Subsequently, if any surplus exists then this may be utilised to settle the firm’s debts.
Settlement of debts by firm’s assets	Firm’s debts are settled against the firm’s assets. Subsequently, if any surplus exists, then this is distributed among the partners.	After paying off firm’s debts, the surplus of firm’s assets, if any is distributed among the partners.  The personal share of the partner in this surplus can be utilised to settle his/her own private debts.

Q4 :What is a Realisation Account?
Answer : On dissolution of a firm, all the books of account are closed, all assets are sold and all liabilities are paid off. In order to record the sale of assets and discharge of liabilities, a nominal account is opened named Realisation Account. The main purpose to open Realisation Account is to ascertain the profit or loss due to the realisation of assets and liabilities. Realisation profit (if credit side > debit side) or realisation loss (if debit side > credit side) are transferred to the Partner’s Capital Account in their profit sharing ratio.
Concisely, following are the important objectives of preparing Realisation Account.
1) To close all the books of account.
2) To record transactions relating to the sale of assets and discharge of liabilities.
3) To determine profit or loss due to the realisation of assets and liabilities.

Q8: How deficiency of creditors is paid off?
Answer : At the time of dissolution of a firm, the amount received from the sale of firm’s assets are utilised to pay the creditors. If the sale receipts fall short, then partners’ private assets are used for settling the dues of the firm’s creditors. Even if some portion of the amount due to creditors is left unpaid, then there arises deficiency of creditors. There are generally two procedures to be followed to treat the deficiency of creditors.
1. Transferring deficiency to the Deficiency Account
2. Transferring deficiency to the Partner’s Capital Account
In the former procedure, a separate account is prepared for the firm’s creditors. Then in order to ascertain the firm’s cash balance accruing from the sale of the firm’s assets and partners’ private assets, Cash Account is prepared. After ascertaining the cash availability with the firm, the creditors and the external liabilities are paid proportionately (partially). The remaining unpaid creditors or the deficiency is transferred to the Deficiency Account.
In the latter procedure, creditors are paid by the cash available with the firm including the partners individual contribution. The deficiency or unpaid creditors amount is transferred to the Partner’s Capital Account. Thus the deficiency of the creditors is borne by all the partners in their profit sharing ratio. If any partner becomes insolvent and is unable to bear the deficiency, then this will be regarded as a capital loss to the firm. If the partnership deed is silent about such capital loss in the facet of insolvency of a partner, then according to the Garner v/s Murray case, such capital loss need to be borne by the solvent partners in their capital ratio.
