Twelve Marks Qs

Q1. How will you deal with a change in the profit sharing ratio among existing partners? Take imaginary figures to illustrate your answer?

There is change in profit sharing only when there is addition of a new partner, retirement or death of partner or due to mutually agreed decision among the partners. Some of the factors that need to be taken into account while changing the profit-sharing ratio are: goodwill, accumulated profits and reserves, liabilities and adjustment of capitals and profit or loss on the revaluation of the assets, etc.

General reserve is essentially the accumulated profits and profit or loss that is obtained on the revaluation of assets and liabilities, adjustments in capital etc.

If one or more partners decide that it is the right time for changing profit sharing ratio, then the gaining partner shall gain and the other will lose, therefore the gainer should compensate the latter. This results in debiting gaining partner capital account and crediting the sacrificing partners’ capital account.
