Q.On Feb. 02, 2017, Verma purchased from Sharma goods for ₹17,500. Verma paid ₹2,500 immediately and for the balance gave a promissory note to Sharma payable after 60 days. Sharma immediately endorsed the promissory note in favour of his creditor Gupta for the full settlement of a debt of ₹15,400. On the due date of the bill Gupta presented the bill to Verma which the latter dishonoured and Gupta paid ₹50 noting charges. On the same date Gupta informed Sharma about the dishonour of the bill. Sharma settled his debt to Gupta by cheque for ₹15,500 which includes noting charges and interest. Verma settled Sharma's claim by cheque for the same amount. Record the necessary journal entries in the books of Sharma, Gupta and Verma for the above transaction and prepare Verma's and Gupta's accounts in the books of Sharma, Sharma's account in the books of Verma, and also Sharma's account in the books of Gupta.

Goods ₹17,500; ₹2,500 paid ⇒ promissory note = ₹15,000 for 60 days, dated Feb 02, 2017 ⇒ maturity = April 06, 2017 (60 days = Apr 03, + 3 days of grace). Sharma endorsed it to Gupta in settlement of ₹15,400 ⇒ discount ₹400. On dishonour noting = ₹50 ⇒ base claim ₹15,000 + ₹50 = ₹15,050. Sharma settles Gupta by cheque ₹15,500 = ₹15,000 + ₹50 noting + ₹450 interest (balancing figure); Verma settles Sharma for the same ₹15,500.

(The extracted source shows a garbled "₹5,000" for the noting charges; the ₹15,500 settlement (₹15,000 + ₹50 + ₹450) confirms the correct figure is ₹50.)
