The old firm has cash of ₹50,000. On admission, physical cash count shows ₹48,000. What is the treatment of the shortage?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: पुनर्मूल्यांकन खाते में ₹2,000 डेबिट

The governing principle is that a decrease in the recorded value of an asset is treated as a loss on revaluation. The books show cash of ₹50,000, whereas physical verification establishes that only ₹48,000 exists. The shortage is therefore ₹50,000 − ₹48,000 = ₹2,000. Since the firm has suffered this loss before the incoming partner joins, the amount is recorded by debiting Revaluation Account by ₹2,000 and crediting Cash Account by the same amount. Option A is correct. A credit would represent a gain, charging the new partner is inappropriate without a specific agreement, and no entry would fail to adjust the books to the verified cash balance.
