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

 

Solution :

Creditors A/c               Dr.                                 72000

             To Reconstruction A/c                                       72000

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.

Now its clear..........I am very grateful to you. Thank you.
