25 June 2008 In a partnership question, there is loss due to insolvency of one partner.
Nothing has been given about the ratio, in which the loss is to be borne by remaining partners.

Then, whether
a) loss will be borne in PSR by partners or
b) as per Garner vs. Murray

Should the student make note of it or

25 June 2008 Loss should be borne by the SOLVENT partners in the Capital ratio..

IF partners have two accounts in the prob (Capital and Current A/C)...it represents...fixed capital method..then the loss should be shared in the RATIO OF BALANCE IN THE CAPITAL A/C -----FIXED CAPITAL METHOD

If they dont have capital account, it represents, capitals are flectuating... Loss should be shared in the ADJUSTED CAPITAL RATIO...where ADJUSTED CAPITAL is equal to OPENING CAPITAL Plus transfer of reserves+adjustment for Goodwill+JLP adjustment..... (All adjustments except Realisaion profit/Loss)

26 June 2008 Thanks for it Sir,
but all this will apply when question specifically ask for "Garner Vs. Murray"
otherwise

as per sec48 of Partnership, On dissolution, any deficiency including capital is to be brought in by partners in the ration in which they are entitled to receive profits. ie PSR

Also, in some text books i read that ,by default, deficiency will be borne in PSR only.

Please confirm and reply.
Thanks again.
