A, B and C are old partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:4:5. The General Reserve is ₹1,44,000 and the Profit and Loss Account has a debit balance of ₹24,000. On the admission of a new partner, what will be the net effect on B’s Capital Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹40,000 credit

The General Reserve is an accumulated profit and is credited to the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio. The debit balance of the Profit and Loss Account represents an accumulated loss and is debited in the same ratio. Net amount to be adjusted = ₹1,44,000 − ₹24,000 = ₹1,20,000. B’s share = ₹1,20,000 × 4/12 = ₹40,000, so B’s account will be credited by ₹40,000. Exam tip: subtract an accumulated loss from the reserve before distributing the net amount; do not distribute the reserve alone.
