The Bad Debts Reserve is ₹36,000, and the actual bad debts amount to ₹15,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio 4:5. After adjusting the reserve, what amount will be credited to the second old partner’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹11,667

The actual bad debts of ₹15,000 are adjusted against the Bad Debts Reserve. Thus, the excess reserve available for distribution is ₹36,000 − ₹15,000 = ₹21,000. It is distributed between the old partners in the ratio 4:5. The second partner’s share is ₹21,000 × 5/9 = ₹11,666.67, or ₹11,667 when rounded to the nearest rupee. ₹21,000 is the total remaining reserve, not the second partner’s individual share. Exam tip: Adjust actual bad debts against the reserve before distributing any excess among the old partners.
