Working notes:

WN 1: Adjustment of Goodwill to compensate Nyaya

Firm's Goodwill = ₹1,20,000

Nyaya's Share = 1,20,000×5/10=₹60,000

 

Gaining Ratio of Naval and Nritya = 3:2

Naval's contribution = 60,000×3/5=₹36,000

Nritya's contribution = 60,000×2/5=₹24,000

 

WN 2: Distribution of Reserves and Fictitious Assets

General Reserve (₹80,000) has been distributed in 3:5:2

Naval = 80,000×3/10 = 24,000

Nyaya  = 80,000×5/10 = 40,000

Nritya  = 80,000×2/10 = 16,000

 

 

Balance in Workmen Compensation Reserve account after liability Workmen Compensation has been distributed in 3:5:2

Workmen Compensation Reserve = 50,000- 20,000 (liability) =30,000

 

Naval = 30,000×3/10 = 6,000

Nyaya  = 30,000×5/10 = 10,000

Nritya  = 30,000×2/10 = 4,000

 

Deferred Revenue Expenditure (50,000) has been written off in 3:5:2

 

Naval = 50,000×3/10 = 15,000

Nyaya  = 50,000×5/10 = 25,000

Nritya  = 50,000×2/10 = 10,000

Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of G’s Share of Goodwill

G's share=Firm's Goodwill×G's Profit Share

G's share=90,000×5/10=45,000 (to be borne by gaining partners in gaining ratio)

WN2: Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio
N's gain=2/5−2/10=2/10

S's gain=3/5−3/10=3/10Gaining Ratio=2:3

N's share=45,000×2/5=18,000

S's share=45,000×3/5=27,000

WN2: Calculation of Excess/Deficit Provision for Doubtful Debts

Required Provision @5%=1,35,000−6,000×5÷100=6,450

Existing Provision after writing bad-debts= 9,000

Excess Provision to be written back=2,550=9,000−6,450

WN3: Calculation of G’s Loan Balance
Amount due to G = Opening Capital + Credits – Debits

= 4,50,000 + (45,000 + 45,000) – (37,500 + 81,225)
= ₹ 4,21,275
