Under the fluctuating capital method, to which account is the deceased partner’s share of profit up to the date of death generally credited?

Correct answer: Deceased Partner’s Capital Account

Under the fluctuating capital method, a partner’s share of profit is credited directly to the partner’s capital account. Therefore, the deceased partner’s share of profit up to the date of death is credited to the deceased partner’s capital account. The current account is generally used for such adjustments under the fixed capital method, while the bank account is affected only when payment is actually made. Exam tip: first identify whether the question refers to the fluctuating or fixed capital method.
