Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A and D only
The Revaluation Account takes only changes in the value of assets and liabilities and unrecorded items. Reserves and goodwill are adjusted through the partners’ capital accounts.
(A) Stock was overvalued by 20% — True. Reducing an overvalued asset is a loss debited to the Revaluation Account.
(B) General reserve appearing in Books ₹2,00,000 — False. Accumulated profits go to the old partners’ capital accounts in the old ratio.
(C) Goodwill valued at ₹1,50,000 — False. The new value of goodwill is credited to the sacrificing partners’ capital accounts.
(D) Workers claim of ₹20,000, when there was no workmen Compensation fund — True. The claim is a new (unrecorded) liability, a loss debited to the Revaluation Account.
(E) Goodwill appearing in the books ₹1,00,000 — False. Existing goodwill is written off to the old partners’ capital accounts in the old ratio.
