Identify the Journal Entry that is to be recorded for distribution of profit and loss account appearing in the Balance Sheet among partners:

Himanshu's Capital A/c Dr. ₹750
Pranav's Capital A/c Dr.     ₹450
Tushar's Capital A/c Dr.     ₹300
      To Profit and Loss A/c            ₹1,500

The correct answer is option 3-
Himanshu's Capital A/c Dr. ₹750
Pranav's Capital A/c Dr.     ₹450
Tushar's Capital A/c Dr.     ₹300
      To Profit and Loss A/c            ₹1,500

Distribution of profit and loss account will be made in old ratio as it is accumulated loss.
Old ratio between old partners is capital ratio which means 35000:21000:14000
                                                                                         =  5:3:2
Himanshu = 1,500 X 5/10
                = 750
Parnav = 1,500 X 3/10
             = 450
Tushar = 1,500 X 2/10
           = 300
So, Old partners capital will be debited and profit and loss account will be credited.
Journal entry for this -
Himanshu's Capital A/c Dr. 750
Pranav's Capital A/c Dr.     450
Tushar's Capital A/c Dr.     300
      To Profit and Loss A/c            1,500
