Suresh is credited with ₹7,500 profit up to death (3 months of ₹90,000 average profit ÷ 3 partners). His closing balance ₹2,55,000 goes to his Executor's Loan A/c; the continuing firm's Balance Sheet totals ₹6,00,000.
Step 1 — Profit & Loss Adjustment (Revaluation) Account
| Dr. Particulars | Amount (₹) | Cr. Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Land & Building A/c (10% dep.) | 20,000 | By Furniture A/c (rise to 1,70,000) | 20,000 |
| To R.D.D. A/c (5% on 1,50,000) | 7,500 | By Partners' Capital A/cs (loss): | |
| Suresh 2,500 · Naresh 2,500 · Paresh 2,500 | 7,500 | ||
| Total | 27,500 | Total | 27,500 |
Net revaluation loss = 27,500 − 20,000 = ₹7,500, shared equally = ₹2,500 each.
Step 2 — Profit up to date of death (Suresh)
Profit for 3 months (1 April → 30 June) = ₹90,000 × 3/12 = ₹22,500. Suresh's share = 22,500 × 1/3 = ₹7,500 (debited to Profit & Loss Suspense A/c, shown as an asset).
