If a reserve is to be created during profit distribution, what is done before sharing profits among partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reserve amount is deducted from the profit

A reserve is an appropriation of profit set aside for future needs. Therefore the reserve amount is deducted from the distributable profit and only the remaining profit is shared among partners. Option B is incorrect because reserve is not added to partners' drawings — drawings reduce capital and are not a method of creating a reserve. Options C and D are wrong since a reserve is neither sales nor an external loan; it is an internal appropriation of profit. Exam tip: Before distributing profit, first account for appropriations (reserves, provisions, bonuses, taxes), then distribute the net distributable profit according to the profit-sharing ratio.
