Preliminary expenses are ₹18000 and old partners ratio is 2:1. How much will be debited to the first partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12000

Preliminary expenses are treated as an accumulated loss or an expense arising before the new partner’s admission. Therefore, the amount should be borne by the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio of 2:1. The total parts are 2 + 1 = 3, so the first partner’s share is 2/3 of ₹18,000. Calculation: ₹18,000 × 2/3 = ₹12,000. Hence, ₹12,000 will be debited to the first partner and option A is correct. The second partner would bear ₹6,000, which explains option B but not the amount asked. Option C represents an equal half-share and ignores the stated ratio, while option D charges the entire expense to the first partner. The ratio must be applied to the total accumulated expense.
