(A) is true, but (R) is false. Explanation: Assertion (A) is true because creditors given stock higher than their debt in full settlement require no journal entry, as their liability is extinguished. Reason (R) is false because partner’s loan settlement by stock above the loan value requires adjustment entries, not no entry.
