Old partners A, B and C share profits in the ratio 1:3:2. General Reserve is ₹72,000 and new partner D is admitted. Why will D not get a share in the reserve?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the reserve was created from profits earned before admission

General Reserve is an accumulated profit appropriated from the firm’s earnings before the admission of D. The governing partnership principle is that a partner is entitled to profits only for the period in which that partner was a member and shared the risks and efforts of the business. D was not a partner when the reserve was created, so the reserve belongs to A, B and C. It should be credited to them in their old ratio of 1:3:2. Option A gives the correct reason. Option D states a fact but does not explain D’s exclusion, while options B and C are conceptually false. The stated amount and ratio do not change this rule.
