In which ratio, deficiency in case of guaranteed profit to any partner is borne by partners in a partnership firm?

Options:

Old profit sharing ratio of partners

Equally if Specified ratio of deficiency is not given

Profit sharing ratio if Specified ratio of deficiency is not given

New profit sharing ratio

Correct Answer:

Profit sharing ratio if Specified ratio of deficiency is not given

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Profit sharing ratio if Specified ratio of deficiency is not given.

Sometimes a partner is admitted into the firm with a guarantee of a certain minimum amount by way of his share of profits of the firm. Such assurance may be given by all the old partners in a certain ratio or by any of the old partners, individually to the new partner. If the ratio is not specified, then the deficiency is borne in the profit sharing ratio.
