A sold goods to B for Rs 20,000 on January 01 2010. On the same date A drew two bills, the first
bill of Rs 8,000 for one month and the second of Rs 12,000 for two months. B accepted and
returned them to A. A discounted the first bill with the bank at 12% p.a. and retained the second
bill till its maturity. The first bill was met on maturity. On Feb. 25, 2010, B requested A for
cancelling the second bill and to draw a new bill. A agreed on the condition that new bill will be
drawn for the same balance (i.e. Rs 12,000) plus Rs 200 as interest for two months. B accepted
the new bill. On the due date, B declared himself as insolvent and his official receiver paid 40
paise in a rupee to A. Pass the necessary Journal entries in the books of A and B
