A and B share profits in the ratio 3:2. Income of ₹20,000 belonging to the firm was wrongly credited directly to A’s capital account. How much will B gain on rectification?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹8,000

The income belongs to the firm, not exclusively to A, so it should have been included in the firm’s profit and distributed in the agreed ratio of 3:2. On rectification, A’s capital account is debited to remove the wrongly credited ₹20,000, and the firm’s income or profit account is credited. The correct distribution gives B 2/5 of the income: ₹20,000 × 2/5 = ₹8,000. Therefore, option A is correct. A’s corresponding share is ₹12,000, while ₹20,000 is the total income, not B’s gain. ₹4,000 does not arise from the stated ratio. The correction restores B’s omitted profit entitlement.
