Working Notes:

Calculation of Goodwill brought in by Ajay

 

Value of firm’s goodwill

= Capitalised value of the firm – Net worth

Capitalised value of the firm

= Share of Ajay's capital × Reciprocal of Ajay's share

= 5,00,000 ×5/1=  ` 25,00,000

Net worth of the new firm 

= Total assets-Outside liabilities + Ajay's capital

= 15,00,000 - 5,00,000 + 5,00,000=   ` 15,00,000

Value of firm's goodwill 

Capitalised value of firm - Net worth of the new firm

=25,00,000 - 15,00,000 

  ` 10,00,000

Ajay's share of goodwill 

 

= 10,00,000 × 1/5

=  ` 2,00,000


Revaluation of Assets and reassessment of Liabilities

Question 42:

Arun and Vijay are partners in a firm sharing profit & loss in the ratio of 3: 2.

BALANCE SHEET (Extract)

Liabilities

`

Assets

`

 

 

Machinery

2,00,000

If the value of machinery in the Balance Sheet is excess by 33 1/3, find the value of machinery to be shown in the New Balance Sheet.

Answer:

 

If the value of machinery in the Balance Sheet is excess by 33 1/3

Then the book value is 100+33 1/3= 133 1/3

Excess Value of Machinery is 2,00,000×33 1/3 ÷ 133 1/3

 

Or

 

= 2,00,000×100/3 ×3/400 = 50,000

Value of machinery to be shown in the New Balance Sheet = 2,00,000-50,000= 1,50,000

 

Question 43: Pass entries in the firm's Journal for the following on admission of a partner:

(i) Machinery be reduced by 16,000 and Building be appreciated by 40,000.

(ii) A provision be created for Doubtful Debts @ 5% of Debtors amounting to 80,000.
