Question 21:

Gold and Silver are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 5. They admit Copper on the condition that he will bring   14,000 as his share of goodwill to be distributed between Gold and Silver. Copper's share in the future profits or losses will be 1/4th. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio and what amount of goodwill brought in by Copper will be received by Gold and Silver

 

Answer;

 

A

B

OLD RATION

2  :

C is admitted for 1/4share

Let the combined share of A, B and C be = 1

Combined share of A and B after C’s admission = 1 − C’s share

=1-1/4

=3/4

New Ratio = Old Ratio - Combined share of A and B

A’s

=2/7×3/4

 

=6/28

B’s

=5/7×3/4

 

=15/28

Distribution of C’s share of Goodwill OR A and B will be covered

A will get =14,000×2/7=4,000

B will get =14,000×5/7=10,000

 

 

Question 22:

(a) B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. D is admitted paying a premium (goodwill) of  
2,000 for 1/4th share of the profits, shares shares of B and C remain as before.
(b) B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. D is admitted paying a premium of  
2,100 for 1/4th share of profits which he acquires 1/6th from B and 1/12th from C.

WN1

Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio:

Let combined share of all partners after D’s admission be = 1

Combined share of B and C after C’s admission be = 1

=1-1/3

=2/3

 

B and C each share of profit after D’s admission will be

=2/3×1/2

=2/6

=1/3 each

 

Sacrificing Ratio =Old ratio- new ratio

 

A’s

=3/4-1/3

 

=5/12 (Sacrifice)

B’s

=1/4-1/3

 

=-1/12(gain)

WN2

C is gaining in new the firm. Hence, C’s gain in goodwill will be debited to his capital and given to B (sacrificing partner).

Goodwill of the firm= premium of Goodwill brought by D × reciprocal of D’s share

=15,000×3/1=45,000

C’s share of gain in goodwill= goodwill of the firm × C’s share of gain

=45,000×1/12=3,750

 

Question 24:

X and Y  are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3. Z is admitted as a partner who pays   40,000 as capital and the necessary amount of goodwill which is valued at  60,000 for the firm. His share of profits will be 1/5th which he takes 1/10th from X and 1/10th from Y.
