Q.On Jan 15, 2016 Raghu sold goods worth ₹35,000 to Devendra and drew upto the latter three bills of exchanges. The first bill was for ₹5,000 payable after one month, the second bill was for ₹20,000 payable after three months and third bill for balance amount for 4 months. Raghu endorsed the first bill in favour of his creditor Dewan in full settlement of a debt of ₹5,200. The second bill was discounted by Raghu @ 6 % p.a. and the third bill was retained by Raghu till the date of maturity. Devendra dishonoured the bill on maturity and the bank paid ₹30 as noting charges. Four days before the maturity of the third bill Raghu, sent the same for collection to his bank. The third bill was also dishonored by Devendra and the bank paid ₹200 as noting charges. Five days after the dishonour of the bill Devendra paid the entire amount due to Raghu along with interest ₹1,000 for this purpose Devendra obtained a short term loan from his bank. You are requested to record the necessary journal entries in the books of Raghu Devendra and Dewan and also prepare Devendra's account in Raghu's books and Raghu's account in Devendra's account.

Third (balance) bill = ₹35,000 − 5,000 − 20,000 = ₹10,000. Maturities from 15 Jan 2016: B1 (1 month) → 18 Feb, B2 (3 months) → 18 Apr, B3 (4 months) → 18 May. B1 ₹5,000 endorsed to Dewan settles a ₹5,200 debt → ₹200 discount received, and it is HONOURED on 18 Feb (no entry in Raghu's books). B2 ₹20,000 discounted @6% = ₹20,000×6%×3/12 = ₹300 (Bank ₹19,700); dishonoured 18 Apr with ₹30 noting → Devendra owes ₹20,030. B3 ₹10,000 sent for collection on 14 May; dishonoured 18 May with ₹200 noting → Devendra owes ₹10,200. Five days later (23 May) Devendra clears the entire ₹30,230 plus ₹1,000 interest = ₹31,230 through a short-term bank loan. Devendra's A/c and Raghu's A/c each total ₹66,230.

Note: only the second and third bills are dishonoured. The first bill (₹5,000), being endorsed to Dewan, is honoured on its maturity (18 Feb 2016), so NO entry is passed for it in Raghu's books on that date. 'the entire amount due' settled on 23 May 2016 = ₹20,030 (B2 + ₹30 noting) + ₹10,200 (B3 + ₹200 noting) + ₹1,000 interest = ₹31,230.
