A firm has a General Reserve of ₹72,000 and a Capital Reserve of ₹48,000. At the time of admission of a new partner, both reserves are to be distributed between A and B in their old profit-sharing ratio of 7:5. What total amount will be credited to B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

The total amount of both reserves is ₹72,000 + ₹48,000 = ₹1,20,000. Under the old ratio of 7:5, B’s share is \(\frac{5}{12}\). Therefore, B’s credit is \(₹1,20,000 \times \frac{5}{12} = ₹50,000\). ₹48,000 represents only the Capital Reserve, whereas the question asks for B’s share in both reserves. Exam tip: On reconstitution, accumulated profits and reserves are generally distributed among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
