If a general reserve is created before distribution of profits, what is the effect on the profit remaining for distribution among partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Remaining profit decreases

A general reserve is an appropriation of profit made before distributing profit to partners. Creating the reserve reduces the amount of profit available for distribution, so the remaining distributable profit decreases. Option B is wrong because creating a reserve does not increase profit; C is incorrect because appropriation cannot double the remaining profit; D is wrong because creating a reserve does affect the distributable profit. Exam tip: Memorise the order of appropriations (e.g. reserves, partner salaries, interest on capital) to quickly determine distributable profit in exam problems.
