At the time of admission of a new partner, the Bad Debts Reserve is ₹72,000 and actual bad debts are found to be ₹42,000. The old partners share profits in the ratio of 4:5. How much of the remaining Bad Debts Reserve will be credited to the second partner’s Capital Account after adjusting the bad debts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹16,667

The actual bad debts of ₹42,000 are adjusted against the Bad Debts Reserve of ₹72,000, leaving ₹30,000. This balance is distributed among the old partners in the ratio 4:5. Therefore, the second partner’s share = ₹30,000 × 5/9 = ₹16,666.67, or approximately ₹16,667. ₹30,000 is the total balance, while ₹42,000 is the amount adjusted as bad debts. Exam tip: First deduct the actual bad debts from the reserve, then distribute the balance in the old partners’ profit-sharing ratio.
