Two old partners share profits in the ratio 3:2. The firm has a General Reserve of ₹50,000 and a Capital Reserve of ₹25,000. On the admission of a new partner, what total amount will be credited to the capital account of the second old partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹30,000

Both reserves are distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. Total reserves = ₹50,000 + ₹25,000 = ₹75,000. The second partner’s share is 2/5, so the amount credited is ₹75,000 × 2/5 = ₹30,000. ₹25,000 represents only the Capital Reserve, not the combined amount asked for. Exam tip: On admission, accumulated profits and reserves are generally distributed among old partners in their old ratio.
