If reserve creation is omitted in profit distribution how will profit distributed to partners appear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will appear higher

A reserve is an amount retained from profit for future needs, strengthening the financial position of the firm rather than being immediately distributed to partners. Therefore, when a reserve is created, it is deducted from the profit available for distribution. Only the balance after this deduction should be credited among the partners.

Suppose the profit is ₹40,000 and a reserve of ₹5,000 is required. The amount available for distribution is ₹40,000 − ₹5,000 = ₹35,000. If the reserve entry is omitted, the entire ₹40,000 may appear available for partners, which is ₹5,000 too much. Thus the distributed profit appears higher than it should. It does not become zero or lower merely because the reserve was omitted, so option A is correct.
