Old partners A, B and C share 2:3:5. General Reserve is ₹100000 and new partner D is admitted. Why will D not get a share in the reserve?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because reserve is created from profit before admission

The General Reserve of ₹1,00,000 represents profits retained from periods before D was admitted. A partner is entitled to profits according to the partnership arrangement applicable during the period in which those profits were earned. At that earlier time, only A, B and C were partners, sharing profits in the ratio 2:3:5. Consequently, the reserve is credited or distributed among A, B and C in that old ratio, and D receives no part of it. Option A gives the actual accounting reason. Option D merely repeats the old ratio and does not explain why D is excluded. Option B is false because D will participate in future profits under the new agreement. Option C is false because a reserve is an appropriation of profit, not necessarily a cash expense.
