MCQ
If a partner cannot clear his debts on dissolution, the other partners must clear these debts in the following manner:
  • A
    Debts are shared equally
  • B
    Debts should not be cleared by other partners
  • C
    Partnership profit/loss sharing ratio
  • In the ratio of their last agreed capital balance

Answer

Correct option: D.
In the ratio of their last agreed capital balance
If a partner can not clear his debts on dissolution, the amount not paid is a loss to the firm, which under the Garner vs Murray rule is to be borne by the solvent partner. The loss is a capital loss which should be borne by the solvent partners in the ratio of the capital in the balance sheet on the date of dissolution.
