Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct reason of (A). Explanation: On dissolution, advertisement suspense account (a fictitious asset) does not go to realisation account as it cannot be realised into cash. Instead, its balance is directly transferred to partners’ capital accounts by debit, effectively writing it off.
