Tell wrong entry.
correct entry is Bank A/c Dr. To Insurance (if it is) or loss by fire well first told the wrong entry then b will more able to ans ur question
i know that the correct entry is Bank A/c Dr. To Loss by Fire But what entry should be passed for wrongly chq deposited into the proprietory's bank A/c
Pls tell wrong entry and from whom recd Rs. 5000/-
Pass Following Entry Subject to note below; Capital A/c Dr To Loss By Fire (Or Anything from above forum messages) Note: I assumed that by "Deposited in Proprietor's Bank A/c" you mean the cheque of claim has been deposited in the proprietor's personal bank account and hence the books of account of the business would not contain any entry for this matter. Hence to bring the claim on books of account of the business, capital account is debited. There is an assumption that the bank account in which the cheque is deposited is not on the books of account in which the rectification entry is to be passed.
pls make clear the what wrong entry u have entered
i wonder what people write about this entry. ridculous. entry is DRAWINGS ACCOUNT DR. TO TRADING ACCOUNT. ONE THING MORE IT CANT BE WRONG. ALL CHALLENGES ACCEPTED FROM EVERYONE.
Hi, mohit mohan, Please explain the same as (1). what correct entry will be passed, (2). what wrong entry has been passed & (3). now what rectified entry has arrived.
Hi Nidhi Since u have not provided what is the wrong entry? anyhow, it could be anything like e.g Dr. Nidhi Cr. JP (for cheque recieved from fala fala insurance co. etc. etc.). just joking! Lets suppose the wrong entry was as gieven by Mohit Mohan hu! Kyu Mohit u r challenging? While the entry passed when fire took place was as follows; Dr.- Insurance Claim Recievable a/c by Rs.5,000/- Cr.- Stock (Name the goods or type of stock) (under the group of Stock in Trade) by Rs. 5000/- (it is presumed settlement amount and loss is same) [narration - Being loss of stock due to fire is being claimed from the insurance Co.] Note- along with crediting the stock a/c, the respective stock register is also adjusted i.e. quantity is reduced from the stock in trade and hence the stock in trade will be reduced by the same amount of Rs.5000/- Now the wrong entry has already been passed by the Mohit Mohan by way of crediting TRADING ACCOUNT (thats too in capital letter, Hu!) Rectification entry is; Dr.- Trading Account by Rs.5,000/- Cr.- Insurance Claim Recievable a/c by Rs.5,000/- If i am right/ wrong please tell me. Mohit is also expected to see it. I am not challenging anyone at all. it may not be coreect but it seems to me logical and i tried to reflect the ultimate effect. the main issue is with the entry passed when fire took place and not the wrong entry and rectification entry. Thanks
