The Bad Debts Reserve is ₹55,000, whereas the actual bad debts amount to ₹73,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio 6:3. What amount of additional debit will be made to the first partner’s Capital Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

The excess of actual bad debts over the reserve is ₹73,000 − ₹55,000 = ₹18,000. This excess loss is borne by the old partners in their profit-sharing ratio of 6:3. The first partner’s share is ₹18,000 × 6/9 = ₹12,000. Therefore, ₹12,000 will be additionally debited to the first partner’s Capital Account. Exam tip: When actual bad debts exceed the reserve, distribute only the excess among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
