K brings in Rs. 25,000 as capital which is adjusted through the existing partners' capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio of 3:2. To record this adjustment, the journal entry must debit K Capital A/c for Rs. 25,000. It then credits H Capital A/c for Rs. 15,000 and M Capital A/c for Rs. 10,000, matching the second entry format.
