- B(A), (B), (D), (C)
- C(B), (A), (D), (C)
- D(C), (B), (D), (A)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The logical and accounting lifecycle of closing a partnership firm via a Realisation Account follows this progression:First, close book accounts by transferring all balance sheet assets and external liabilities to the Realisation Account (B).Next, sell or realize cash value from the transferred assets (A).Pay off external liabilities out of realized proceeds (D).Balance the account to compute and distribute the final profit or loss on realization to partners (C).Thus, the exact sequential progression is (B), (A), (D), (C).
