Why is the deceased partner’s share of accumulated loss deducted from their account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a partner shares both profits and losses in the profit-sharing ratio

In a partnership, every partner bears both profits and losses in the agreed profit-sharing ratio. Therefore, the deceased partner’s share of accumulated loss is debited to their capital or current account, reducing the amount payable to their legal representative. Option B is incorrect because accounts do not close automatically on death; they must be adjusted properly. Exam tip: accumulated profit is credited, whereas accumulated loss is debited.
