A and B share profits in the ratio of 1:1. At the time of admission of a new partner, the general reserve is ₹40,000. What amount will be credited to the capital account of each old partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹20,000 each

On the admission of a new partner, the general reserve is distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. Since the reserve is ₹40,000 and A and B share profits equally, it is divided into two equal parts: ₹40,000 ÷ 2 = ₹20,000. Therefore, ₹20,000 is credited to each partner’s capital account. Option B is incorrect because crediting ₹40,000 to each partner would distribute ₹80,000 in total. Exam tip: Distribute existing reserves only among the old partners and use their old profit-sharing ratio.
