Read the following information and answer the question.
A, B & C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2:2:1. At the end of the year, the balance sheet shows the following information-
Capital accounts of partner- A ₹6,00,000, B ₹4,80,000 C ₹4,80,000
General reserve = ₹4,40,000
Workmen compensation reserve = ₹3,60,000
Creditors = ₹2,40,000
Land = ₹8,00,000
Building = ₹6,00,000
Furniture = ₹2,40,000
Debtors = ₹4,00,000 (including ₹20,000 for provision)
Stock = ₹4,40,000
Cash = ₹1,40,000
Workmen's compensation claim was determined at ₹1,60,000. How much amount is left with the firm after distribution and claim?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3- Zero.
Fund = ₹3,60,000
Claim = ₹1,60,000
Remaining amount = 3,60,000 - 1,60,000
= ₹2,00,000
₹2,00,000 will be distributed to partners in their profit-sharing ratio because it is an accumulated reserve. So, no amount left with the firm.
