If after distributing profit it is found that reserve was omitted what will be the effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit distributed earlier was excessive

A reserve is an appropriation of profit made before the remaining profit is distributed to partners. It transfers a specified amount from immediately distributable profit to a reserve account. If the reserve is accidentally omitted, the partners’ distribution is calculated from an amount that is too large. Consequently, the amount distributed earlier exceeds the amount that should have been distributed.

The error is equal to the omitted reserve, assuming no other adjustment is involved. For example, if ₹20,000 should have been retained but was instead included in the distributable amount, partners collectively received ₹20,000 too much. The reserve does not by itself increase interest on capital, and the omission does not make the earlier distribution smaller. Therefore, the correct choice is that the profit distributed earlier was excessive.
