At the time of retirement of a partner, accumulated Profits or Losses are available. To whom these accumulated profits or losses belong to ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Accumulated profits such as general reserve, and accumulated losses, arose while the retiring partner was still a member of the firm. They therefore belong to all the partners, including the one who is retiring.

Accordingly they are distributed among all partners in their old profit sharing ratio before the retiring partner's dues are settled.
