A reserve of Rs 40,000 was wrongly credited although it should have been debited. By how much will the distributable profit be overstated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 80,000

The governing rule is that an item which should be debited reduces profit, whereas a credit increases the balance used for distribution. The correct treatment would therefore lower distributable profit by Rs 40,000. Because the item was actually credited, the reported distributable profit rises by Rs 40,000 instead. The total overstatement compared with the correct position is consequently Rs 40,000 + Rs 40,000 = Rs 80,000. Hence option A is correct. Option B measures only the effect of the wrong credit and misses the debit that should have been recorded. Options C and D do not follow the debit-credit difference.
