      Realisation account 

      A realisation account is a nominal account prepared at the time of dissolution of a business.  All the assets and liabilities except cash and bank balance are transferred to the realisation account. A realisation account is prepared to calculate the profit or loss on the dissolution or closing of the firm.

      All the assets are transferred to the debit of the realisation account and all the liabilities are transferred to the credit of the realisation account. When assets are sold, Cash A/c is debited and Reliastion A/c is credited and when liabilities are paid off, Cash A/c is credited and Realisation A/c is credited.

      If the credit side exceeds the debit side of the realisation account, it results in profit. In contrast, if the debit side exceeds the credit side of the realisation account, it results in a loss. in case of profit, the Capital account is credited and in case of loss, the Capital account is debited.

       

      Credit side of realisation account

      • Liabilities: All the liabilities including sundry creditors, outstanding expenses, bills payable, loans and advances, bank overdrafts and cash credit are transferred to the credit side of the realisation account. Capital account of partners, profit and loss balance and loans from partners are not transferred.

      Liabilities A/c Dr…..

      To Realisation A/c …..

      (All the liabilities transferred to realisation account)

      • Provisions: All the provisions including provision for doubtful debts and provision for taxation are transferred to the credit side of the realisation account.
        • Accounting entry for this is as follows:

      (All the provisions transferred to the realisation account)

      • Cash and bank A/c: Sale proceeds of all the assets including Land and building, Plant and machinery, furniture, stock, debtor and investment are transferred to the credit side of the Realisation account.
        • Accounting entry for this is as follows:

      Bank A/c Dr…..

      To Realisation A/c …..

      (Asset sold for cash)

      • Loss on realisation: If the debit side of the realisation account exceeds the credit side, it results in loss then the capital account is debited.
        • Accounting entry for this is as follows:

      Capital A/c Dr…..

      To Realisation A/c …..

      (Being loss transferred to the capital account)
