Dissolution of Partnership Firm

Question:

In the case of dissolution of firm, accumulated losses are transferred to:

Options:

Capital Accounts in Profit Sharing Ratio

Realisation Account in Profit Sharing Ratio

Capital Accounts in Equal Ratio

Realisation Account in Equal Ratio

Correct Answer:

Capital Accounts in Profit Sharing Ratio

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Capital Accounts in Profit Sharing Ratio

At the time of dissolution of a firm, any accumulated losses (like debit balance of Profit & Loss Account or Deferred Revenue Expenditure) are shared by the partners.

  • These losses are not transferred to the Realisation Account, because they are not related to the sale of assets or payment of liabilities.

  • Instead, they are transferred directly to the partners’ Capital Accounts in their profit-sharing ratio, since they represent losses of the firm that must be borne by the partners.
