Correct Answer: Capital reserve account


Solution : Answer = Capital reserve account

When the net assets of a company exceed the purchase consideration paid during an acquisition, the excess amount is credited to the capital reserve account. This represents the surplus value gained by the acquiring company beyond the fair value of the acquired company's net assets, often reflecting intangible benefits or synergies.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
