Step 1: Understanding the distribution of profit or loss on realization.
On disSolutions, any profit or loss arising from the realization of assets is distributed among the partners in their agreed profit sharing ratio. This ensures that all partners bear the results of disSolutions equitably as per their contributions and entitlements.
Step 2: Identifying the correct ratio.
The profit sharing ratio is used because it reflects the partners' original agreement regarding the distribution of profits and losses during the partnership.
A, B, C, and D share profit and loss in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2 : 1. The partnership was dissolved on 31st March, 2024. The firm’s balance sheet on this date was as follows:

| Capital A | 80,000 | Debtors | 1,40,000 |
| Capital C | 1,20,000 | Stock | 92,000 |
| Capital B | 40,000 | ||
| Capital D | 20,000 | ||
| Total | 3,40,000 | Total | 3,40,000 |
