Solution

On dissolution of the firm, partners’ capital accounts are closed through Realisation Account.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. The first step in the dissolution of a firm is to close all the existing accounts, except for the partners' capital accounts and the realisation account.

  2. The assets of the firm are transferred to the Realisation Account. Any liabilities or obligations are also transferred to this account.

  3. The Realisation Account is then used to pay off any existing liabilities. If there are any assets remaining after all liabilities have been paid, they are distributed among the partners according to their capital balances.

  4. The partners' capital accounts are then closed by transferring the balance (if any) to the Realisation Account. If a partner has a debit balance in their capital account (i.e., they owe the firm money), this amount is transferred to the Realisation Account as a liability.

  5. Finally, the Realisation Account is closed. If there is a balance remaining in the account, it is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their capital balances. If there is a deficit, it is made up by the partners in the same ratio.

So, the correct answer is Realisation Account.
