Reconstitution of Partnership Firm: Retirement/Death of a Partner Important Questions Class 12 Accountancy Chapter 4
Question 1.
What is meant by‘gaining ratio on retirement of a partner (Delhi 2019)
Answer:
The ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the outgoing partner’s share is called as gaining ratio.
Question 2.
Aman, Yatin and Uma were partners and were sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Uma retired and her share was taken over by Aman and Yatin 5 : 3 in ratio. Calculate gaining ratio of Aman and Yatin. (Compartment 2018)
Answer:
Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Uma’s share = \(\frac{2}{10}\)
Aman gams = \(\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{2}{10}=\frac{10}{80}\)
Yatin gams = \(\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{10}=\frac{6}{80}\)
Gaining ratio of Aman and Yatin = 10 : 6 = 5 : 3
Question 3.
X, Y and Z are partners sharing profits in the ratio of \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{10}\). Find the new ratio of remaining partners, if Z retires. (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
Old ratio of X : Y : Z = \(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{5} : \frac{1}{10}=\frac{5}{10} : \frac{4}{10} : \frac{1}{10}\)
= 5 : 4 : 1
Z retires, after striking of the retiring Parmer’s ratio, remaining ratio will be new profit sharing ratio, i.e. 5 : 4.
Question 4.
X, Y and Z were partners sharing profits in the ratio of \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{10}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) X retired from the firm. Calculate the gaining ratio of the remaining partners. (All India 2014)
Answer:
Old ratio of X : Y : Z = \(\frac{1}{2}: \frac{3}{10}: \frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{10}: \frac{3}{10}: \frac{2}{10}\)
= 5 : 3 : 2
X retired, after striking of the retiring partner’s ratio, remaining ratio will be new profit sharing ratio, i.e. 3 : 2,
New profit sharing ratio = Y : Z = 3 : 2
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
Y = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{6-3}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\)
Z = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{4-2}{10}=\frac{2}{10}\)
Gainingratio = 3 : 2
Question 5.
Give any one distinction between sacrificing ratio and gaining ratio. (All India 2012)
Answer:
The difference between sacrificing ratio and gaining ratio is stated below
Sacrificing ratio:
It is the ratio in which old partners agree to sacrifice their share of profit in favour of new partner(s).
Gaining ratio:
It is the ratio in which continuing partners acquire the share of profit from outgoing partner(s).
Question 6.
(i) K, L and Z are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2 respectively. L retired and surrendered \(\frac{1}{9}\)th of his share of profit to K and remaining in favour of Z. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of K and Z.
(ii) Arun, Varun and Charan are partners sharing profits in the ratio of \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{10}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) respectively. Varun retired from the firm and Arun and Charan decided to share future profits in 3 : 2 ratio. Calculate gaining ratio of Arun and Charan. (All Indio (C) 2014)
Answer:
(i) Old ratio between K, L and Z = 4 : 3 : 2.
Share surrendered in favour of K by L
= \(\frac{3}{9} \times \frac{1}{9}=\frac{3}{81}\)
Share surrendered in favour of Z by L
∴ New ratio = 39 : 42 or 13 : 14
(ii) Old ratio between Arun, Varun and Charan
= \(\frac{1}{2}: \frac{3}{10}: \frac{1}{5}\) = 5 : 3 : 2
New ratio between Arun and Charan = 3 : 2
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
Question 7.
Aman, Bimal and Deepak are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 . The goodwill of the firm has been valued at ₹ 37,500. Aman retired, Bimal and Deepak decided to share profits equally in future. Calculate gain/sacrifice of Bimal and Deepak on Aman’s retirement and also pass necessary journal entry for the treatment of goodwill. (All India 2019)
Answer:
Calculation of Sacrificing or Gaining Ratio
Sacrificing Ratio = Old share – New share
Bimal = \(\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3-5}{10}=\left(\frac{2}{10}\right)\); Deepak = \(\frac{5}{10}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5-5}{10}\) = Nil
Aman’s Share of Goodwill = 37,500 × \(\frac{2}{10}\) = ₹ 7,500

Give necessary journal entries to adjust goodwill and distribute profits showing your workings. (Delhi 2012)
Answer:
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio and Gaining Ratio
Old ratio of Aijun, Bheem and Nakul = 14 : 5 : 6
Bheem surrenders in favour of Arjun = \(\frac{5}{25}\)th share, Arjun’s new share = \(\frac{14}{25}+\frac{5}{25}=\frac{19}{25}\)
New ratio of Aijun and Nakul = 19 : 6
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
Arjun = \(\frac{19}{25}-\frac{14}{25}=\frac{19-14}{25}=\frac{5}{25}\); Nakul = \(\frac{6}{25}-\frac{6}{25}=\frac{6-6}{25}\) = Nil
2. Calculation of Bheem’s Share of Goodwill
Actual average profit = \(\frac{50,000+55,000+60,000}{3}\) = ₹ 55,000; Normal profit = ₹ 30,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit = 55,000 – 30,000 = ₹ 25,000
Firm’s goodwill = 25,000 × 2 = ₹ 50,000
Bheem’s share of goodwill = 50,000 × \(\frac{5}{25}\) = ₹ 10,000 (to be contributed by Arjun alone)

Prepare revaluation account, partners capital accounts and balance sheet of the new firm. (All India 2016)
Answer:
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
J = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{6-5}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\); K = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{4-2}{10}=\frac{2}{10}\)
Gaining ratio = 1 : 2
2. Adjustment for Goodwill Firm’s goodwill = ₹ 1,02,000
H’s share of goodwill = 1,02,000 × \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 30,600 will be debited to gaining partners, i.e. J and K in gaining ratio, i.e. 1 : 2
J’s share = 30,600 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 10,200; K’s share = 30,600 × \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 20,400
3. Adjustment of Capital
J’s capital after adjustment = 1,36,800
(+) K’s capital after adjustment = 38,400
Total capital of new firm = ₹ 1,75,200
J’s adjusted capital = 1,75,200 × \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) = ₹ 1,05,120; K’s adjusted capital = 1,75,200 × \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) = ₹ 70,080

Prepare revaluation account, partners capital accounts and balance sheet of the firm after
Madan’s retirement. (All India (C) 2016)
Answer:
Working notes:
1. Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
Leena = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{21-10}{35}=\frac{11}{35}\); Naresh = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{7}=\frac{14-15}{35}= \frac{1}{35}\) sacrifice
2. Calculation of Share of Goodwill
Madan’s share of goodwill = 5,60,000 × \(\frac { 2 }{ 7 }\) = ₹ 1,60,000 to be contributed by Leena alone. As she is the only gaining partner, she will compensate to Naresh also.
3. Calculation of Capital of Partners in New firm
New profit sharing ratio = 3 : 2
Leena’s capital = 32,00,000 × \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) = ₹ 19,20,000; Naresh’s capital = 32,00,000 x \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) = ₹ 12,80,000
5. It is mentioned in the question that an old customer Mohit had promised to pay ₹ 7,000 in settlement of his debt, since it is an oral promise it is not considered as a transaction, therefore Mohit has been considered as the debtor of the firm.

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Seth’s Share of Profit
Number of days Seth worked for = Jan + Feb + March = 31 + 28 + 14 = 73 days
Share of Seth’s profit = 60,000 x \(\frac { 73 }{ 365 }\) x \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\) = ₹ 2,400
2. Calculation of Khanna’s and Mehta’s Capital
Khanna’s capital after adjustment = 2,45,100
Mehta’s capital after adjustment = 4,08,500
Total capital = ₹ 6,53,600
Khanna’s capital = 6,53,600 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 8 }\) = ₹ 2,45,100 ; Mehta’s capital = 6,53,600 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\) = ₹ 4,08,500
So, there is no deficit or surplus in Khanna’s and Mehta’s capital account which is to be adjusted through current accounts.

Answer:
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Interest on N’s Capital
Interest on N’s capital = 70,000 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 }\) x \(\frac { 73 }{ 365 }\) = ₹ 700
2. Calculation of Goodwill
3 years total profit = 80,000 + 90,000 + 1,00,000 = ₹ 2,70,000
Average profit = \(\frac { 270000 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 90,000
Firm’s Goodwill = Average Profit x Number of Years Purchase = 90,000 x 2 = ₹ 1,80,000
N’s share of goodwill = 1,80,000 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 60,000
3. Calculation of N’s Stare of Profit
N’s share of profit = (90,000 x 2) x \(\frac { 73 }{ 365 }\) x \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = ₹ 12,000
