An asset taken over by a partner is a payment in kind to that partner, so his Capital account is debited and the Realisation Account is credited with the agreed value.

When the firm is dissolved (or reconstituted), any asset that a partner keeps for himself is treated exactly like cash paid to him. The firm is releasing an asset in his favour, so:

  • The Realisation Account is credited (the asset leaves the firm at its agreed value, just as if it had been sold).
  • The partner's Capital Account is debited (he owes the firm that value; it reduces the amount ultimately payable to him).
