At the time of a partner’s admission, a Capital Reserve of ₹24,000 appears in the books. The old partners share profits in the ratio of 1:1. What is the correct accounting treatment for this Capital Reserve?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit Capital Reserve ₹24,000; credit old partners’ Capital/Current Accounts ₹12,000 each

Capital Reserve represents accumulated profit earned by the old partners. Therefore, on admission of a new partner, it is distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. Dividing ₹24,000 in the ratio 1:1 gives ₹12,000 to each partner. The entry debits Capital Reserve and credits the Capital or Current Accounts of the two old partners by ₹12,000 each. It is not credited to the new partner, and no bank transaction is involved. Exam tip: Existing reserves at admission are generally distributed among old partners in their old ratio.
