At the time of admission of a new partner, the Workmen Compensation Reserve is ₹96,000, whereas the actual claim is ₹1,26,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio of 5:3. What amount will be debited to the first partner’s capital account as his share of the additional loss?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹18,750

The excess of the Workmen Compensation claim over the reserve is ₹1,26,000 − ₹96,000 = ₹30,000. This additional loss is borne by the old partners in their old ratio of 5:3. The first partner’s share is ₹30,000 × 5/8 = ₹18,750, so his capital account is debited by ₹18,750. Exam tip: Distribute any claim exceeding the reserve among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
