What should be the Journal Entry?

Liabilities Side of B/s shows Creditors of Rs. 72000

 

Solution :

According to Study Material

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creditors A/c               Dr.                                 72000

             To Reconstruction A/c                                       72000

 Is it correct ? While the question specifically asked for 50 % reduction i.e 36000

It says creditors are to be fully settled for issue of equity shares after reduction to 50 % . This means they are waving off whole creditors (50% by reconstruction & 50% by issue of shares) ..so it is a combined entry for reduction of creditors. 

next entry would be 

Share surrender Dr....36000

To Equity shares A/c  ...36000 

(shares surrendered being utilized in issuing equity shares )

 

 

Thank you so much for reply

Thanks Friend now i got the point....................But how do i recognise that question asks for Full settlement. It seems that i am not being able to cope the language of question. Is there any indication in question that the same is for fully settlement.

you r most welcome:) .. When they say "such amount is to be settled" . It means they want to wave off whole amount against something.
