Question:

At the time of reconstitution of the partnership firm, recording of an unrecorded asset will lead to..........

Options:

Loss to existing partners

Gain to existing partners

Neither gain nor loss to the existing partners

Decrease in Reserves of the firm

Correct Answer:

Gain to existing partners

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Gain to existing partners.

When we record an unrecorded asset during the reconstitution of a partnership firm, it means recognizing an asset that wasn't accounted for before. The firm is gaining by acknowledging an asset it didn't have on the books. Firm gain will be gain for the partners.
