Where will the profit or loss on Revaluation Account be transferred to? |
Capital accounts of the old partners in old ratio. Capital account of the new partner in new ratio. Capital accounts of the all partners in new ratio. Capital accounts of the all partners in old ratio. |
Capital accounts of the old partners in old ratio. |
Correct answer: Option (1) → Capital accounts of the old partners in old ratio. Concept: Profit or loss on revaluation arises from changes in the value of assets/liabilities that occurred before reconstitution, so it belongs to the old partners – per Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm – Retirement/Death of a Partner. Since these gains/losses accrued while the firm was constituted by the old partners, the balance of the Revaluation Account is transferred to the OLD partners’ capital accounts in their OLD profit-sharing ratio. Pre-reconstitution results do not concern the new partner or the new ratio, so the other options are wrong. |
