Question:

The balance of Revaluation Account is transferred to old Partner's Capital Accounts in which ratio?

Options:

Old profit-sharing ratio

New profit-sharing ratio

Equal ratio

Sacrificing Ratio

Correct Answer:

Old profit-sharing ratio

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Old profit-sharing ratio.

The balance of the Revaluation Account is transferred to the old partners' Capital Accounts in the old profit-sharing ratio.


When a partnership firm revalues its assets and liabilities, any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the Revaluation Account. Upon the retirement or admission of a partner, this revaluation balance needs to be adjusted among the old partners. The adjustment is made based on their old profit-sharing ratio because the gain or loss from the revaluation affects their existing capital accounts based on their previous agreement.
