The correct option is D 3,50,000 credited to JLP account
A Joint Life Policy (JLP) is an insurance policy which is taken out by the partnership firm on the joint lives of all the partners. The amount of policy is payable by the Insurance Company either on the death or on maturity of policy, whichever is earlier. The firm pays annual premium to the insurer against the policy.
The journal entry when joint life policy of the partners surrendered and cash obtained is:
Bank A/c Dr. 350000
To joint life policy A/c 350000
