Solution and Explanation
Case 1: Investment Fluctuation Fund
- Book value of Investments = ₹ 50,00,000
- Market value = ₹ 44,00,000
- Loss = ₹ 6,00,000
- Investment Fluctuation Fund = ₹ 5,00,000
Thus, ₹ 5,00,000 from fund is used, balance ₹ 1,00,000 is loss to be transferred to partners’ capital accounts.
Journal Entry:
Investment Fluctuation Fund A/c Dr. ₹ 5,00,000
To Revaluation A/c ₹ 6,00,000
To Partners’ Capital A/c ₹ 1,00,000 Case 2: Workmen Compensation Fund - Fund = ₹ 25,00,000 - Estimated claim = ₹ 25,00,000 So, the entire fund will be used. No surplus or deficiency. Journal Entry:
Workmen Compensation Fund A/c Dr. ₹ 25,00,000
To Workmen Compensation Liability A/c ₹ 25,00,000 Final Answer: Necessary entries adjusting investment loss and claim are recorded through revaluation and liability account.
