What is the most common exam mistake in adjustment of reserves at admission?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distributing reserve in new ratio instead of old ratio

A reserve represents profit accumulated before the admission of the new partner. Therefore, it belongs only to the existing partners and must be transferred to their capital or current accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio. The new ratio is relevant only for profits earned after admission. Hence, distributing the reserve in the new ratio is the common mistake and option A is correct. Crediting old partners is normally the correct treatment, while debiting the Reserve Account is the usual journal entry and is not itself the conceptual mistake. An accumulated loss, in contrast, is debited to old partners in the old ratio.
