Reserves

Reserves in Class 12 Accountancy explain how accumulated profits, losses and reserve balances are treated when a new partner is admitted during reconstitution. Students learn that reserves created before admission generally belong to the old partners and are transferred to their capital or current accounts in the old profit-sharing ratio, so the incoming partner does not share past profits. The topic also covers general reserve, debit or credit balance of Profit and Loss Account, specific reserves and the related journal entries.
