There is an investment in LIC of Rs. 50 lacs in the balance sheet of a superannuation trust. Now on maturity, this trust has received Rs. 80 lacs. What will be the accounting treatment i.e. journal entry.
At the time of investment, the entry made was:
LIC (Inv.) Dr. 50.00 To Bank 50.00
In my opinion : At the time of receipt of maturity amount, the entry may be:
Bank Dr. 80.00 To LIC (Inv.) 50.00 To ???????? 30.00
