Preliminary expenses of ₹12,000 are to be written off on admission. A and B share profits in the ratio 3:1. How much will be debited to B?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹3,000

The governing concept is that preliminary expenses are an accumulated loss or deferred expense that must be written off on reconstitution. The loss is borne by the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. A and B share 3:1, making 4 total parts. B’s share is one part, so the amount debited to B is ₹12,000 × 1/4 = ₹3,000. Therefore, option A is correct. A would bear ₹9,000, which explains option B. Option C assumes equal sharing, and option D charges the entire loss to B, neither of which follows the stated ratio.
