| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Amount (₹) |
| Bank A/c Dr. To Realisation A/c (Being money realised from stock) |
21,300 | 21,300 |
Working Note-
Total stock value - ₹ 30,000 out of Total Stock
(a) Easily Marketable Items realised
`= (30,000 xx 65)/100` = 19,500 full realisation
(b) Obsolete item: 20% discarded (6,000 B.V.)
(c) The miscellaneous other items realised
`= 30,000 - 19,500 - 6,000`
`= 4,500 xx 40/100`
= 1,800
Total realisation from stock:
19,500 + 1,800 = 21,3000
