CBSE Class 11-commerce Answered

On 10th August, 2015 Amar accepts a 3 months bill drawn by his creditor Vinod for Rs.20,000. On 13th August, 2015, Vinod discounted the same at 5% p.a. in his bank. Amar being unable to meet the bill at maturity, requests Vinod to accept Rs.10,000 in cash and to draw another bill for 3 months for the balance plus interest at 8% p.a. and Vinod agrees. But on the due date of the second bill Amar becomes insolvent and only 50 paise in a rupee recovered from his estate. Pass necessary journal entries in the books of Vinod and also prepare Amar’s account.
