Generally what is the new partner's share in old reserve amount?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

An old reserve is created from profits earned before the new partner’s admission. The incoming partner did not contribute services or capital as a partner during the period in which those profits were generated, so the reserve is not shared with that partner. It is normally transferred to the old partners’ capital or current accounts according to their old profit-sharing ratio. Therefore, the new partner’s share in the old reserve is zero, making option A correct. The new ratio applies to profits earned after admission, not to accumulated profits of the earlier period. A half or full share has no general accounting basis, and an amount equal to the new ratio would wrongly give the incoming partner rights over past profits. Specific contractual provisions could change treatment, but under the usual rule the answer remains zero.
