At the time of admission of a new partner, the Bad Debts Reserve was ₹48,000, whereas actual bad debts were found to be ₹58,000. If the old partners share profits in the ratio 4:1, what amount of the excess loss should be debited to the first partner’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹8,000

Actual bad debts are ₹58,000, while the available reserve is ₹48,000. Therefore, the excess loss is ₹58,000 − ₹48,000 = ₹10,000. This excess loss is borne by the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio of 4:1. The first partner’s share is ₹10,000 × 4/5 = ₹8,000, so ₹8,000 is debited to that partner’s account. Exam tip: first calculate the excess over the reserve, then distribute it according to the old profit-sharing ratio.
