Sundry assets (including Cash ₹ 8,000) realised at ₹ 1,16,000 and sundry liabilities to be paid ₹ 31,340. Calculate Rustings’s remuneration and show your workings clearly. Also pass the necessary journal entry for remuneration.

Answer 1

Assets realised = ₹ 1,08,000

Commission @ 2% = 2,160

Amount payable to other partners = 1,16,000 – 31,340 = 84,660

10% of amount payable = 8,466

Total Commission = 2,160 + 8,460 = ₹ 10,626
