A, B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio 7:2:1. The General Reserve is ₹80,000 and the accumulated loss is ₹30,000. On the admission of a new partner, these items are adjusted through the old partners’ capital accounts. How much will be credited to A’s capital account after this adjustment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹35,000

The General Reserve is credited to the old partners’ capital accounts, whereas the accumulated loss is debited. Thus, the net credit amount is ₹80,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹50,000. This amount is distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio of 7:2:1. A’s share is ₹50,000 × 7/10 = ₹35,000. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B, ₹56,000, is obtained by distributing only the General Reserve and ignoring the accumulated loss. Exam tip: When a reserve and an accumulated loss appear together, calculate their net effect before applying the old ratio.
