When a partner dies, how is the deceased partner’s share of undistributed profits treated?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credited to the deceased partner’s Capital or Current Account in the old profit-sharing ratio

Undistributed profits, such as a general reserve or a credit balance in the Profit and Loss Account, are accumulated rights of the partners. Therefore, the deceased partner’s share is credited to his Capital or Current Account in the old profit-sharing ratio, increasing the amount payable to his estate. It is not treated as an expense or deducted from the other partners’ accounts. Exam tip: accumulated profits are credited in the old ratio, while accumulated losses are debited in the old ratio.
