Special Reserve is ₹64,000 and the related liability is ₹49,000. What amount will be distributed among the old partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹15,000

The governing concept is that a specific reserve cannot be distributed without first recognising the liability for which it was created. The Special Reserve has a credit balance of ₹64,000, but the related liability is ₹49,000. The liability must be adjusted against the reserve before any balance is credited to the old partners. The distributable surplus is therefore ₹64,000 − ₹49,000 = ₹15,000. This remaining amount represents the unused portion of the reserve and is transferred to the old partners’ capital or current accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio. Option B is only the liability amount, option C ignores the liability, and option D incorrectly assumes that the entire reserve is consumed. Hence option A is the only correct answer.
