Why is the deceased partner’s share of revaluation profit added to their account?

Correct answer: Because it is part of the profit accrued up to the date of death

The net gain arising from the revaluation of assets and liabilities is treated as accruing up to the date on which the partner was associated with the firm. Therefore, the deceased partner’s share of revaluation profit, calculated in the profit-sharing ratio, is credited to their account. Option C is incorrect because revaluation profit is generally a book gain, not an immediate cash receipt. Exam tip: In a partner’s death adjustment, include their share of profit up to death, revaluation profit, and accumulated profits.
