If a general reserve is to be created, how will it be adjusted in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: On the debit side

A general reserve is created by retaining a portion of the firm’s profit for future needs, strengthening the business, or meeting unforeseen losses. It is therefore an appropriation of profit, not a trading expense and not an immediate cash payment. The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is debited with the amount transferred to General Reserve. The corresponding credit is made to the General Reserve Account. The partners’ accounts are not debited for the creation itself, because the reserve is retained in the firm rather than distributed to them. The Bank Account is also not credited merely because a reserve is created; no bank transaction is implied. Thus, option A correctly states the side of adjustment.
