What is the immediate effect of creating a reserve on the profit share distributed to partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The immediate share decreases

The governing concept is appropriation of profit. A reserve is created by retaining or setting aside a specified portion of the firm’s profit instead of distributing that portion immediately to the partners. Consequently, the amount of profit available for immediate distribution decreases by the amount transferred to the reserve, although the partners’ agreed profit-sharing ratio itself does not automatically change. Therefore option A is correct. Option B states the opposite effect. Option C is incorrect because creating a reserve does not cancel or alter the partnership ratio. Option D confuses reserve creation with drawings; drawings are withdrawals by partners and are recorded separately. For example, if distributable profit is ₹50,000 and ₹10,000 is transferred to reserve, only ₹40,000 remains for immediate distribution.
