A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:2. At the time of admission of a new partner, revaluation of assets results in a loss of ₹49,000. How much will be debited to A’s Capital Account?

Correct answer: ₹35,000

A revaluation loss is distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. A’s share is \(5/7\), so the debit to A’s Capital Account is \(₹49,000 \times 5/7 = ₹35,000\). ₹14,000 is B’s share, not A’s. Exam tip: Distribute revaluation profit or loss in the old profit-sharing ratio before recording the new partner’s admission.
