Why is the deceased partner’s share of the reserve fund added to the amount due to them?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is an undistributed portion of accumulated profits of past years

A reserve fund represents accumulated profits retained from earlier years. On reconstitution, it is distributed among the partners in the old profit-sharing ratio, so the deceased partner’s share is credited to their capital account and included in the amount payable to their legal representative. It is not an external liability of the firm; it is an appropriation of past profits. Exam tip: Adjust a general reserve among partners using the old profit-sharing ratio.
