Transfer to liability side of New Balance Sheet

Transfer to Debt side of Revaluation A/c

Transfer to Credit side of Old Partner's Capital A/c

Correct Answer:

Transfer to Credit side of Old Partner's Capital A/c

Explanation:

As there is no fall in market value of investments so the investment fluctuation fund is distributed between old partners in their old ratio.
Old ratio between old partners is capital ratio which means 35000:21000:14000
                                                                             =  5:3:2
Himanshu = 5000 x 5/10
             = 2500
Parnav = 5000 x 3/10
             = 1500
Tushar = 5000 x 2/10
             = 1000
