If A received Rs 48,000 under the old ratio but should have received Rs 60,000 under the new (correct) ratio, what will be the adjustment entry in A's account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credit Rs 12000

Core concept: In re-distribution/adjustment, a partner who has received less than what the new ratio entitles them to must be credited with the shortfall. Here A should have got Rs 60,000 but got Rs 48,000 — a shortfall of Rs 12,000. Therefore A's account is credited by Rs 12,000 (other partners are debited according to their gaining shares). Why the nearest distractor is wrong: option B (Debit Rs 12,000) is incorrect because a debit would mean A received excess. Option C (No effect) is wrong because there is a difference to adjust. Option D (Debit Rs 48,000) is not appropriate in adjustment entries. Exam tip: compute difference = new amount − old amount; if positive, credit the partner; if negative, debit the partner.
