Krishna accepted a bill for three months drawn by Rama for Rs. 4000. Rama discounted the bill with the bank at Rs. 3900. On the date of maturity, the bill was dishonoured. Rama paid noting charges for Rs. 20. Krishna paid half the amount for the bill and full amount of the noting charges and accepted a bill for the balance including interest of Rs. 50. The second bill was duly honoured. Pass necessary journal entries in the books of Rama and show Krishna’s account.
