A and B are old partners sharing profits in the ratio of 11:7. On admission of a new partner, a revaluation loss of ₹72,000 arises. By how much will B’s Capital Account be debited?

Correct answer: ₹28,000

A revaluation loss is debited to the capital accounts of the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. B’s share is \(\frac{7}{11+7}=\frac{7}{18}\). Therefore, the debit to B’s Capital Account is ₹72,000 × \(\frac{7}{18}\) = ₹28,000. ₹44,000 represents A’s share, not B’s. Exam tip: distribute revaluation profit or loss among the old partners in their old ratio, not in the new ratio.
