X and Z agree that the capital of the new firm shall be fixed at ₹ 2,10,000 in the profit-sharing ratio. The Capital Accounts of X and Z after all adjustments on the date of retirement showed balance of ₹ 1,45,000 and ₹ 63,000 respectively. State the amount of actual cash to be brought in or to be paid to the partners. (AI 2020)

 

Answer:

Old Ratio (X, Y, and Z) = 3 : 2 : 1

Y retires from the firm.

X‘s new capital = 2,10,000×3/4=1,57,500

Z‘s new capital = 2,10,000×1/4=52,500
