Why is the deceased partner entitled to a share of the revaluation profit?

Correct answer: Because the revaluation profit is considered to have accrued up to the date of death

The gain arising from revaluing assets and liabilities relates to the period during which the deceased partner was a member of the firm. Therefore, revaluation profit up to the date of death is shared among the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio, including the deceased partner’s share. Option B is incorrect because being a creditor does not give a partner’s right to share profits. Exam tip: Profits or losses arising before reconstitution are generally shared in the old profit-sharing ratio.
