If revaluation profit is ₹50,000 then in what ratio it will be distributed between partners?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2- 2:2:1
Revaluation profit is distributed between partners in their old ratio because it belongs to old partners. Here, the old ratio is 2:2:1, so revaluation profit of ₹50,000 is distributed between A, B & C in 2:2:1.
