The old balance sheet shows a General Reserve of ₹1,50,000. A new partner is admitted for a 1/6 share of profits. What amount of the General Reserve will be credited to the new partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹0

General Reserve represents profits accumulated before the new partner’s admission. Therefore, it is distributed only among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio, and the new partner receives nothing from it. ₹25,000 is obtained by calculating 1/6 of ₹1,50,000, but the new partner’s ratio cannot be applied retrospectively to an old reserve. Exam tip: On admission, existing reserves and accumulated profits are credited only to the old partners’ capital or current accounts.
