Question 3.
Atul and Neera were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted Mitali as a new partner. Goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹ 2,00,000. Mitali brings her share of goodwill premium of ₹ 20,000 in cash, which is entirely credited to Atul’s capital account. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio. (Delhi 2019)
Answer:
Firms goodwill = ₹ 2,00,000
Premium for goodwill brought in by new partner Mitali = ₹ 20000
So, Mitali s share = \(\frac { 20000 }{ 200000 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\)
Premium for goodwill is entirely credited to Atul’s capital account means only Atul sacrifice.
So, Arid’s sacrificing ratio = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\)
∴ Atuls new share = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{6-1}{10}=\frac{5}{10}\)
Neera’s new share = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{10}\)
Mitali’s new share = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\)

(i) Rajeev and Sanjeev are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. They admit Vijay as a new partner. Rajeev surrenders \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\) of his share and Sanjeev \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\) of his share in favour of Vijay. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of Rajeev, Sanjeev and Vijay.
(ii) Anita and Sunita are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. They admitted Vinita as a new partner for \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\)th share. The new profit sharing ratio between Anita and Sunita will be 2 : 1. Calculate their sacrificing ratio. (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
(i) Old ratio between Rajeev and Sanjeev = 3 : 2
(ii) Old ratio between Anita and Sunita = 3 : 2
Vinita is admitted for \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\)th share.
Remaining share = 1 – \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4}\) which will be
shared among Anita and Sunita in the ratio of 2 : 1. Accordingly,
Anita’s new share = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{4}\)
Sunita’s new share = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ New profit sharing ratio = 2 : 1 : 1
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share – New Share
Anita = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{12-10}{20}=\frac{2}{20}\)
Sunita = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{8-5}{20}=\frac{3}{20}\)
∴ Sacrificing ratio = 2 : 3
Question 20.
(i) Rohan and Mohan are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 respectively. They admit Bhim as a partner for \(\frac { 1 }{ 7}\)th share in the profit. The new profit sharing ratio will be 4 : 2 : 1. Calculate the sacrificing ratio of Rohan and Mohan.
(ii) Amla and Kamla are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 1 respectively. They admitted Bimla as a new partner for \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\)th share in the
profits, which she acquired wholly from Amla. Determine the new profit sharing ratio of the partners. (Delhi (C) 2014)
Answer:
(i) Old ratio between Rohan and Mohan = 5 : 3
New ratio after Bhim’s admission = 4 : 2 : 1
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share – New Share
Rohan = \(\frac{5}{8}-\frac{4}{7}=\frac{35-32}{56}=\frac{3}{56}\)
Mohan = \(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{21-16}{56}=\frac{5}{56}\)
∴ Sacrificing ratio = 3 : 5
(ii) Old ratio between Amla and Kamla = 4 : 1
Bimla is admitted for \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\)th share, which she gets wholly from Amla. Accordingly,
New share of Amla = \(\frac{4}{5}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{16-5}{20}=\frac{11}{20}\)
Share of Kamla = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5}\); Share of Bimla = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4}\)
∴ New ratio = \(\frac{11}{20}: \frac{1}{5}: \frac{1}{4}\) = 11 : 4 : 5
Question 21.
On 1st April, 2010 Sahil and Charu entered into partnership for sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3. They admitted Tanu as a new partner on 1st April, 2012 for \(\frac { 1 }{ 5}\)th share which she acquired equally from Sahil and Charu. Sahil, Charu and Tanu earned profits at a higher rate than the normal rate of return for the year ended 31st March, 2013. Therefore, they decided to expand their business. To meet the requirements of additional capital they admitted Puneet as a new partner on 1st April, 2013 for \(\frac { 1 }{ 7}\)th share in profits which he acquired from Sahil and Charu in 7 : 3 ratio. Calculate
(i) New profit sharing ratio of Sahil, Charu and TanuTor the year 2012-13.
(ii) New profit sharing ratio of Sahil, Charu, Tanu and Puneet on Puneet’s admission. (Delhi 2015)
Answer:
(i) Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio of Sahil, Charu and Tanu for the year 2012-13
Tanu is admitted for \(\frac { 1 }{ 5}\) th share
Tanu acquired profit share from Sahil = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Tanu acquired profit share form Charu = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Sahil’s New Share = Old Share – Sacrifice Share
= \(\frac{4}{7}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{40-7}{70}=\frac{33}{70}\)
New profit sharing ratio will be = \(\frac{33}{70}: \frac{23}{70} \div \frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac { 33:23:14 }{ 70 }\) or 33 : 24 : 14
(ii) Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio
Old ratio = 33 : 23 : 14
Puneet is admitted for \(\frac { 1 }{ 7 }\)th share
Which he acquired from Sahil and Cham in 7 : 3 ratio
Puneet acquired share from Sahil = \(\frac{1}{7} \times \frac{7}{10}=\frac{7}{70}\)
Puneet acquired share from Charu = \(\frac{1}{7} \times \frac{3}{10}=\frac{3}{70}\)
Sahil s new share = \(\frac{33}{70}-\frac{7}{70}=\frac{26}{70}\)
Charu’s new share = \(\frac{23}{70}-\frac{3}{70}=\frac{20}{70}\)
New Ratio = \(\frac{26}{70}: \frac{20}{70}: \frac{14}{70}: \frac{1}{7}\)
⇒ \(\frac{26}{70}: \frac{20}{70}: \frac{14}{70}: \frac{10}{70}\)
Or 13 : 10 : 7 : 5
Question 22.
Vinay and Naman are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 4 : 1. Their capitals were ₹ 90,000 and ₹ 70,000 respectively. They admitted Prateek for 1/3 share in the profits. Prateek brought ₹ 1,00,000 as his capital. Calculate the value of firm’s goodwill. Compartment 2tn8
Answer:
Prateek’s Capital for – share = ₹ 1,00,000
Firm’s Total Capital = 1,00,000 × 3 = ₹ 3,00,000
On the basis of Prateek’s Capital,
Firm Actual Capital = 90000 + 70000 + 100000 = ₹ 2,60,000
Firm’s goodwill = 300000 – 2,60000 = ₹ 40,000

L, M and N were partner in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. On 1st April, 2018 they admitted S as a new partner in the firm for 1/5th share in the profits. On S’ admission the goodwill of the firm was valued at 3 years purchase of last five average profits. The profits during the last five year were:
Table
Calculate the value of the goodwill of the firm. Pass necessary journal entry for the treatment of goodwill on S’s admission. (Delhi 2019)
Answer:
5 Years Average Profit = \(\frac{4,00,000+3,00,000+2,00,000+50,000+(50,000)}{5}\) = ₹ 108000
Firm’s Goodwill = 5 Years Average Profit x No. of Years Purchase = 1,80,000 x 3 = ₹ 5,40,000
S’s share of goodwill = 5,40,000 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) = ₹ 108000
NOTE: it is not clearly mentioned in the question that new partners S bring his share of goodwill in cash or not. So, it Is assumed that goodwill premium is brought in cash.

Amit and Kartik are partners sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admit Saurabh for an equal share in the profits. For this purpose, the goodwill of the firm was to be valued for four years’ purchase of super profits.
The Balance Sheet of the firm of Saurabh’s admission was as follows:
The normal rate of return is 12% per annum. Average profit of the firm for the last four years was ₹ 30,000. Calculate Saurabh’s share of goodwill. (comportment 2018)
Answer:
Capital Employed = Amit’s Capital + Kartik’s Capital + Reserve = 90000 + 50000 + 20000 = ₹ 1,60,000
2 12 f Normal Profit = Capital Employed x Normal Rate of Return = 100000 × \(\frac { 12 }{ 100 }\) = ₹ 19,200
Average Profit = ₹ 30,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit = 30000 – 19200 = ₹ 10,800
Firms Goodwill = Super Profit x Number of Years Purchase = 10000 x 4 = ₹ 43,200
Saurabh’s Share of Goodwill = 43200 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 14,400

Pass necessary journal entries on Raghav’s admission showing the working notes clearly. (CBSE 2018)
Answer:
Working Note:
Calculation of Adjusted Profit
2013- 14 3,50,000 – 56,250 = 2,93,750
2014- 15 4,75,000 – 56,250 = 4,18,750
2015- 16 6,70,000 – 56,250 = 6,13,750
2016- 17 7,45,000 – 56,250 – 15,000 = 6,73,750
Total profit =2,93,750 + 4,18,750 + 613,750 + 6,73,750 = ₹ 20,00,000
Average profit = \(\frac { 20,00,000 }{ 4 }\) = ₹ 5,00,000
Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years’ Purchase
= 5,00,000 × 2 = ₹ 10,00,000
Raghav’s share of goodwill =10,00,000 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) = ₹ 2,50,000 to be shared by Asha and Aditi in 3 : 2 ratio.

Chintu’s share = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)
Capital brought in by Chintu for \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)th share = ₹ 80,000
Finn’s capital = 80,000 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 1 }\) = ₹ 4,00,000
Abha’s capital = 4,00,000 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 2,00,000
Banal’s capital = 4,00,000 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 1,20,000

Prepare revaluation account, partners’ capital accounts and the balance sheet of the reconstituted firm on Nidhi’s admission. (Delhi 2019)
Answer:
Working Notes
1. Firm’s goodwill = ₹ 4,00,000
Nidhi’s share of goodwill = 4,00,000 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) = ₹ 1,00,000 to be distributed among Sanjana and Alok in sacrificing ratio.
2. Sanjana’s capital after adjustment = ₹ 5,90,000
Alok’s capital after adjustment = ₹ 1,60,000
= ₹ 7,50,000
to be in profit sharing ratio
Sanjana = 7,50,000 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) = 4,50,000 – 5,90,000 = ₹ 1,40,000 cash withdrew

Prepare revaluation account, partners’ capital accounts and the balance sheet of reconstituted firm. (All India 2019)
Answer:
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio
A sacrifice = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{6-5}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\); B sacrifice = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{4-3}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Sacrificing ratio = 1 : 1
2. \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\)th share capital = ₹ 64,000
Firm’s capital = 64,000 x \(\frac { 10 }{ 2 }\) = ₹ 3,20,000
A’s new capital = 3,20,000 × \(\frac { 5 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 1,60,000
B’s new capital = 3,20,000 × \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 96,000
