If old accumulated loss is not adjusted what wrong effect may occur?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Burden of old loss may also fall on new partner

An accumulated loss relates to the period before the admission of the new partner and therefore belongs to the old partners. It should be written off or adjusted through the old partners’ capital or current accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio. If this adjustment is omitted, the loss may remain embedded in the firm’s accounts and reduce the effective capital or future distributable profits of the reconstituted partnership. Since the new partner joins after the loss arose, allowing the unadjusted loss to affect the combined business can indirectly make the new partner bear part of an old obligation. Thus, option A identifies the unfair accounting effect. The other options are unrelated: a loss does not create a reserve, does not automatically close cash, and cannot increase General Reserve.
