* Revaluation account serves as a record of changes in the value of assets and liabilities. When there is an increase in the value of each asset or a decrease in liabilities, it is considered a gain and is credited to the revaluation account. Conversely, when there is a decrease in the value of assets or an increase in liabilities, it is considered a loss and is debited to the revaluation account. Additionally, any unrecorded assets are credited to the revaluation account, and unrecorded liabilities are debited to the revaluation account to ensure proper accounting. After all the adjustments are made, the revaluation account's final balance can either be a credit or a debit. If it shows a credit balance, it indicates a net gain resulting from the revaluation process. On the other hand, if it shows a debit balance, it indicates a net loss from the revaluation. Ultimately, the net gain or net loss reflected in the revaluation account will be transferred to the capital accounts of the old partners based on the previously agreed-upon ratio among the partners. This ensures that the partners' capital accounts are adjusted to account for the changes in the partnership's assets and liabilities due to the revaluation.

*  Sometimes a firm may have accumulated profits not yet transferred to capital accounts of the partners. These are usually in the form of general reserve, reserve and/or Profit and Loss Account. The new partner is not entitled to have any share in such accumulated profits. These are distributed among the partners by transferring it to the credit side of their capital current accounts in old profit-sharing ratio. Similarly, if there are some accumulated losses in the form of a debit balance of profit and loss account and/or deferred revenue expenditure appearing in the balance sheet of the firm. It should be transferred to the debit side of old partners’ capital accounts.
