What is the main reason for crediting the amount of general reserve to the old partners’ capital or current accounts when a new partner is admitted?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is profit earned before admission and belongs to the old partners

General reserve is created from accumulated profits of earlier years. Before the new partner is admitted, these profits belong only to the old partners, so the reserve is credited to their capital or current accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio. It is neither a new liability nor a cash expense. Exam tip: At admission, accumulated profits and reserves belong to the old partners, while profits earned afterward are shared by all partners.
