Rohit and Shobit are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 4:1. On April 15, 2025 they admit Nobit as a new partner. On that date, there was a balance of Rs. 80,000 in general reserve and a debit balance of Rs. 40,000 in the profit and loss account of the firm. Regarding adjustment of general reserve:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

General Reserve is an undistributed profit and is credited to the old partners in the old ratio 4:14:1.

Rohit =80,000×4/5=64,000= 80{,}000 \times 4/5 = 64{,}000 credited; Shobit =16,000= 16{,}000 credited.

The debit balance of Profit and Loss Account is a separate loss item and is debited to them, but the question asks only about the General Reserve adjustment.
