WN 1Calculation of Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio

Old Ratio (X and Y) = 5 : 3

New Ratio (X and Y) = 3 : 5

Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio

X's share=5/8−3/8=2/8 (Sacrifice)

Y's share=3/8−5/8=−2/8 (Gain)

 

WN 2Calculation of New Goodwill

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year′s Purchase = 6,000 × 2 = ₹ 12,000

Average profit= 7,500+4,000+6,500/3=6,000

∴Goodwill = 6,000 × 2 = ₹ 12,000

WN 3Adjustment of Goodwill
