Why is the deceased partner’s share of the reserve fund credited to his account in a partnership firm?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the reserve fund represents accumulated profits, and the deceased partner is entitled to his share in the old profit-sharing ratio

A reserve fund is created from undistributed profits of earlier years. Therefore, at the time of a partner’s death, the partner is entitled to his share of the reserve in the old profit-sharing ratio, and this amount is credited to his capital or current account. It is not a bank loan and is not distributed only among the new partners. Exam tip: On retirement or death, distribute a general reserve in the old profit-sharing ratio.
