CBSE Class 11-commerce Answered

On 15th January, 2015 Hrithik sold goods of Rs.35,000 to Salim. Salim accepted a bill to be payable after 3 months. On the same day, Hrithik discounted the bill with the bank at 12% p.a. The bill was dishonoured on the maturity date. Salim further agreed to pay half the amount in cash and accept a new bill for 3 months for the balance at an interest of 15% p.a. The new bill was duly met on maturity. Pass the journal entries in the books of Hrithik and prepare Bills Receivable account.
