Q no2}

 

During retirement or death of a partner JLP received is divided among partners..........

 

JLP is received so it is Debited and it is the right of partners so it should be added with capital(unless it is settled privately) so Credited to Partner's capital a/c........

1) JLP is an asset.

2) The journal entry shwn by you is made to bring a previously unrecorded JLP into books.  If you still need to know more above it, you are most welcome.
