FAQs on NCERT solution - Chapter 5: Dissolution of Partnership (Part - 3) - Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

1. What are the reasons for the dissolution of a partnership?
Ans. The dissolution of a partnership can occur due to various reasons such as mutual consent, expiry of the partnership term, death of a partner, insolvency of a partner, or a court order.
2. How can a partnership be dissolved by mutual consent?

3. What happens to the assets and liabilities of a partnership upon dissolution?
Ans. Upon dissolution, the assets of the partnership are sold, and the proceeds are used to pay off the liabilities. Any remaining amount is distributed among the partners according to their profit-sharing ratio. If there is a deficit, the partners are personally liable to cover it.
4. Can a partnership be dissolved if one partner becomes insolvent?
Ans. Yes, if a partner becomes insolvent, it can lead to the dissolution of the partnership. The other partners may decide to dissolve the partnership to protect their interests and avoid any legal complications arising from the insolvent partner's financial situation.
