Correct Answer:

to the credit of the Capital Accounts of Hari, Ram and Sharma equally.

 


Solution : Answer = to the credit of the Capital Accounts of Hari, Ram and Sharma equally.

In this scenario, the credit balance of Rs. 12,000 in the Profit and Loss Account represents profit earned by the firm. Upon Hari's retirement, this profit should be distributed among all partners, including Hari, as per their profit-sharing ratio. Therefore, the amount will be transferred to the credit of the Capital Accounts of Hari, Ram, and Sharma equally.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
