Reconstitution of Partnership Firm: Retirement and Death

Question:

At the time of retirement of a Partner, gain on revaluation will be credited to:

Options:

Capital A/c of retiring partner

Capital A/c of all Partners in their old Profit Sharing ratio

Capital accounts of remaining partners in their old Profit sharing ratio

Capital A/c of the remaining Partners in their new Profit Sharing ratio

Correct Answer:

Capital A/c of all Partners in their old Profit Sharing ratio

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Capital A/c of all Partners in their old Profit Sharing ratio.

When a partner retires, the gain on revaluation of assets and liabilities is credited to the capital accounts of all partners (both the retiring and the remaining partners). This is done in the old profit-sharing ratio because the revaluation reflects the partnership’s position before the retirement and is shared among all the partners according to their existing profit-sharing ratio. This ensures that the revaluation gain or loss is appropriately distributed among all partners before the retirement of the partner.
