A firm has a Contingency Reserve of ₹1,05,000, while the related probable liability is estimated at ₹1,26,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio of 2:5. On the admission of a new partner, what amount of loss will be debited to the capital account of the second old partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹15,000

The probable liability exceeds the Contingency Reserve by ₹21,000: ₹1,26,000 − ₹1,05,000 = ₹21,000. Only this excess is treated as a loss and distributed among the old partners in their 2:5 profit-sharing ratio. The second partner’s share is ₹21,000 × 5/7 = ₹15,000. Therefore, ₹15,000 is debited to that partner’s capital account. Exam tip: When the probable liability is greater than the reserve, distribute only the excess over the reserve among the old partners.
