At the time of a partner’s admission, what is the main accounting error in adjusting accumulated loss by including the new partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Charging the new partner with a share of the pre-admission loss

Accumulated loss arises before the admission of the new partner, so it must be borne only by the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. Including the new partner is the main error because the new partner was not a partner during the period in which the loss occurred. Option B describes the correct treatment, not an error. Exam tip: Pre-admission profits, losses and accumulated items are generally adjusted among the old partners in their old ratio.
