Solution:

Realisation Account

Particulars Amount (Rs.) Particulars Amount (Rs.)
To Plant 2,20,000 By Plant 2,00,000
To Investments 70,000 By Investments 60,000
To Stock 50,000 By Stock 40,000
To Debtors 60,000 By Debtors 50,000

To Profit & Loss A/c (Loss on Realization) 55,000
4,65,000 3,55,000

Loss on Realisation = 4,65,000 - 3,55,000 = 1,10,000

The loss is distributed among partners in their profit-sharing ratio of 2:2:1

Srijan's share of loss = (2/5) * 1,10,000 = 44,000
Raman's share of loss = (2/5) * 1,10,000 = 44,000
Manan's share of loss = (1/5) * 1,10,000 = 22,000
