The old balance sheet shows a General Reserve of ₹60,000. A new partner is admitted for a 1/4 share of profits. What will be the new partner’s share in the General Reserve?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

General Reserve represents profits accumulated before the new partner’s admission. Therefore, it belongs only to the old partners and is transferred to their capital accounts in the old profit-sharing ratio. The incoming partner gets no share in it. ₹15,000 is incorrect because the reserve should not be multiplied by the new partner’s 1/4 share. Exam tip: Profits or losses accumulated before admission are not shared with the incoming partner.
