In a firm, a general reserve of ₹54,000 was distributed in the capital ratio 5:4 instead of the old profit-sharing ratio 2:1. Due to this error, how much less or more did the first partner receive than the correct amount?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹6,000 less

A general reserve should be distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. The first partner’s correct share was ₹54,000 × 2/3 = ₹36,000. Under the incorrect capital ratio of 5:4, he received ₹54,000 × 5/9 = ₹30,000. Therefore, he received ₹36,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹6,000 less. Exam tip: Reserves and accumulated profits are generally distributed among old partners in the old profit-sharing ratio, not in the capital ratio.
