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
