A firm has a Contingency Reserve of ₹92,000, while the probable liability amounts to ₹1,10,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio 6:5. What portion of the loss arising from this liability will be debited to the second old partner’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹8,182

The probable liability exceeds the reserve by ₹1,10,000 − ₹92,000 = ₹18,000. This excess loss is borne by the old partners in their 6:5 ratio. Therefore, the second partner’s share is ₹18,000 × 5/11 = ₹8,181.82, or approximately ₹8,182. ₹18,000 is the total excess loss, not the second partner’s share. Exam tip: First calculate the liability exceeding the reserve, then distribute that excess in the old profit-sharing ratio.
