The old balance sheet shows a General Reserve of ₹1,20,000. A new partner is admitted for a 1/5 share in the firm. What share of the General Reserve will be given to the new partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

General Reserve represents profits accumulated by the old partners before the new partner’s admission. Therefore, the reserve of ₹1,20,000 is distributed only among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio, and the incoming partner receives no share from it. ₹24,000 is obtained by incorrectly applying the new partner’s 1/5 share to the reserve. Exam tip: Pre-admission accumulated profits, such as General Reserve and the credit balance of the Profit and Loss Account, are adjusted among the old partners before admission.
