How are accumulated profits treated for a deceased partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credited to his account

Accumulated profits are undistributed profits earned by the firm before the partner’s death. Since the deceased partner was entitled to his agreed share in those profits, that share must be transferred to the deceased partner’s capital account or current account, according to the firm’s accounting system. This increases the amount payable to his executor or legal representative. Therefore, option A is correct. The profits are not ignored, because doing so would understate the partner’s claim. They are not sent directly to a bank, and a new partner has no automatic right to profits earned before joining the firm. The adjustment is normally made through the Profit and Loss Appropriation or related adjustment account.
