A firm has a Workmen Compensation Reserve of ₹96,000, while the actual workmen compensation claim is ₹60,000. At the time of admission of a new partner, how much of the balance reserve will be credited to the second old partner if the old partners’ profit-sharing ratio is 5:3?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹13,500

After adjusting the claim, the surplus in the reserve is ₹96,000 − ₹60,000 = ₹36,000. Since this surplus belongs to the old partners, it is distributed in their old profit-sharing ratio of 5:3. The second partner’s share is therefore \(\frac{3}{8} \times ₹36,000 = ₹13,500\). ₹36,000 is the total surplus, while ₹22,500 represents the first partner’s share. Exam tip: If a reserve exceeds the actual liability or claim, distribute the surplus among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
