(Sold 2000 units of Share B)

Transfer of Purchase Cost

Apportion of purchase cost based on No of Units Sold

For Example 5000 Shares B Cost is $ 500000 then what will be the cost of 2000 Shares

(500000/5000) X 2000 =$ 200000

Transfer to Asset Realization

Asset Realization a/c Dr 200000

To Share B 200000

(Apportion of 2000-unit share cost)

In the Above Example, it results in Profit

Asset Realization a/c Dr 50000

Compare the Entry Passed by Book Keeper with Actual Entry 

Then Pass Adjustment Entry

Note: Only Company Books will Maintain, No Books will maintain for individuals, so no need for Net Movement, directly start Doing Excel Work Sheet.

What is the Possible Mistake Book Keeper (BK) can make?

i. Sometimes for the entire Sales amount BK Pass Entry into Investment a/c so we need to reverse the entry and Transfer to the Asset Realization account 

ii. Sometime sale of Investment, received to another Bank account or to Trust Bank account Then Pass Entry as Loan Receivable 

Loan to X a/c Dr XXXX

To Asset Realization XXXX

Analysis of the Net Movement 

So, we need to analyze each Debit and Credit 

Closing Balance Summary needs to Match with Trail balance Investment a/c

1. Book Keeping Maintain, Then Follow the above procedures

2. Book Keeping Not Maintain, Straight Simple 🡺 Consider From ITR

From Investment 🡺 Book Keeping we get 

1. Investment

3. Further Purchase of investment

Be Careful while making investment entries check single Ledger maintain or Multiple Ledger Maintain.

If already Ledger account available then pass entry to the old ledger account instead of creating a new ledger

If No Ledger is available then create New Ledger for the Investment
