Murray rule, solvent partners have to bear loss of insolvent partner in their capital ratio. Computation of Capital Ratio (of Solvent Partners) P Q S Opening capital Add:. General reserve 1,68,000 38,000 1,08,000 28,500 (18,000) 9,500 Capital reserve 10,000 7,500 2,500 2,16,000 1,44,000 (6,000) Though S is a solvent partner yet he cannot be called upon to bear loss on account of insolvency of R because his capital account has a debit balance. Therefore, capital ratio of P & Q = 216: 144 = 3: 2 Deficiency of R = {(25,000 + 20,060)- (19,000 + 5,000)} = 45,060 - 24,000= 21,060. Deficiency of R will be shared by P & Q in the capital ratio of 3: 2 i.e. P = 21,060 X 3/5 = 12,636 Q = 21,060 X 2/5 = 8,424
