If accumulated profit is distributed in new ratio what should be the correct basis for correction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Old profit sharing ratio

Accumulated profits were earned during the period when the original partners carried on the business. A new partner was not a member during that earlier period and therefore should not receive a share of those profits. The proper accounting treatment is to distribute the accumulated profit among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.

If the amount was mistakenly distributed in the new ratio, the correction should reverse the wrong allocation and apply the old ratio. Thus, option A, “Old profit-sharing ratio,” is correct. The new ratio is relevant for profits earned after reconstitution, while the sacrificing ratio is used mainly to determine compensation for the share surrendered to a new partner. A cash ratio has no role in this correction.
