A and B share profits in the ratio 3:2. Income of ₹15,000 was omitted from the recorded profit of ₹1,00,000. By how much will B’s share increase on rectification?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹6,000

The governing concept is rectification of an omitted item affecting divisible profit. Because the omitted ₹15,000 is income of the partnership, correcting the records increases the profit available for distribution by the full amount. The extra profit must be divided in the existing ratio of 3:2. The total number of parts is 5, and B is entitled to 2 parts. Thus B’s increase is ₹15,000 × 2/5 = ₹6,000. Option A is therefore correct. ₹9,000 is the corresponding increase for A, ₹15,000 is the whole omitted income rather than B’s share, and ₹3,000 does not match either partner’s entitlement under the stated ratio. The original recorded profit is irrelevant to the incremental calculation.
