Sonu, Monu and Gopal are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. Balance sheet shows workmen compensation reserve of Rs. 48,000. On retirement of Sonu, liability for workmen compensation reserve Rs. 24,000 is to be accounted. What amount of workmen compensation reserve is to be shown in the balance sheet of the reconstituted firm?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Out of the reserve of 48,00048,000, the claim of 24,00024,000 is shown separately as a liability for workmen compensation claim. The surplus 48,000−24,000=24,00048,000 - 24,000 = 24,000 is credited to all partners in 3:2:13:2:1. Nothing of the reserve itself survives, so Workmen Compensation Reserve in the new balance sheet is NIL.
