 share in the profits. On Yogita's admission, the Profit and Loss Account of the firm was showing a

Answer : 
Here, the treatment of Profit and Loss A/c (Dr.) is incorrect. Because, debit balance of Profit and Loss A/c represents the 
loss to the firm. Therefore, at the time of admission of Yogita, it must be divided among the old partners i.e. Geeta, Sunita

Q2 : 
Geeta, Sunita and Anita were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. On 1.1.2015 they admitted Yogita as a 
new partner for 1/10
th
 share in the profits. On Yogita's admission, the Profit and Loss Account of the firm was showing a 
debit balance of Rs 20,000 which was credited by the accountant of the firm to the capital accounts of Geeta, Sunita and 
Anita in their profit sharing ratio. Did the accountant give correct treatment ? Given reason in support of your answer. 
 
Answer : 
Here, the treatment of Profit and Loss A/c (Dr.) is incorrect. Because, debit balance of Profit and Loss A/c represents the 
loss to the firm. Therefore, at the time of admission of Yogita, it must be divided among the old partners i.e. Geeta, Sunita 
and Anita in their old profit sharing ratio i.e. 5 : 3 : 2. Thus, it should be debited and not credited to the capital accoun ts of 
Geeta, Sunita and Anita.

(iv) Credit of Profit and Loss Suspense Account

On the death of a partner, his share in the profits of the firm till the date of his death is transferred to the debit of Profit 
and Loss Suspense Account. 
Hence, the correct answer is option (iii).
