Why does the new partner's account not appear in the entry for distributing accumulated profits?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: क्योंकि वह पुराने लाभ का अधिकारी नहीं है

The governing concept is the separation of profits earned before and after admission. Accumulated profits or reserves arise from the firm’s operations before the new partner joined. The new partner did not contribute capital, effort, or bear risk during that earlier period and therefore has no claim over those profits. The accounting entry distributes the reserve only among the old partners, generally by debiting the reserve and crediting their capital or current accounts in the old ratio. The new partner participates in profits earned after admission, according to the new agreement. Option B is false because the new partner’s account does exist, option C is an unsupported generalisation, and option D confuses a book profit with cash. Hence option A is correct.
