Pass necessary Journal entries for bringing in or withdrawal of the necessary amounts involved. Show yourworking clearly. (CBSE 2023)

Answer:

Date	Particulars		Dr. (₹)	Cr. (₹)
(i)	Bank A/c	Dr.	60,000
	To Aastha's Capital A/c			60,000
	(Being amount brought)
(ii)	Shweta's Capital A/c		60,000
	To Bank A/c			60,000
	(Being amount withdrawn)

 

 Total Capital of Shweta and Asha showed credit balance of 3,00,000+1,00,000=4,00,000

New Ratio of Shweta and Asha = 3:2

New Capital as per New Ratio of Shweta and Asha

Shweta = 4,00,000×3/5=2,40,000

Asha = 4,00,000×2/5=1,60,000

Capital adjustment requirement

Shweta	Adjusted Capital	3,00,000
	New Capital	2,40,000
	Amount withdrawn	60,000
Aastha	Adjusted Capital	1,00,000
	New Capital	1,60,000
	Amount brought	60,000

Working Notes:

WN1: Adjustment of Goodwill

Chander’s share of Goodwill =27,000 ×1/6=4,500

Amit wil pay=4,500×3/5=2,700

Balanwil pay=4,500×2/5=1,800

 

WN2Adjustment of Capital
Adjusted Old Capital of Amit=44,800 (40,000+4,500+300)-2,700=₹ 42,100

Adjusted Old Capital of Balan=39,700 (36,500+3,000+200)-1,800=₹ 37,900

Total Adjusted Capital=42,100+37,900=₹ 80,000

New Profit Sharing Ratio=3:2

Amit's New Capital=80,000×3/5=₹ 48,000

Balan's New Capital=80,000×2/5=₹ 32,000

Note:Since, here no information is given regarding the share acquired by Amit and Balan, therefore, their gaining ratio is same as their new profit sharing ratio i.e. 3 : 2.

Working Notes: 

WN 1Calculation of Profit Sharing Ratio
Old Ratio (N, S and B) = 3 : 1 : 2
B retires from the firm.
∴ New Ratio (N and S) = 3 : 1 and
Gaining Ratio = 3 : 1

WN 2Adjustment of Goodwill
Goodwill of the firm = ₹ 21,000
B’s Share of Goodwill = = 21,000×2/6=7,000

 

This share of goodwill is to be distributed between N and S in their gaining ratio (i.e. 3 : 1).
N‘s share= 7,000×3/4=5,250

S‘s share= 7,000×1/4=1,750

 

Condition for goodwill treatment; gaining partner to retiring partner

N’s capital a/c	Dr.	5,250	-
S’s Capital a/c	Dr.	1,750	-
To B’s Capital a/c		-	7,000

 

WN 3Adjustment of Partners’ Capital after B’s Retirement
Combined Capital of N and S after all adjustments = 33,730 + 31243 = ₹. 64,973

New Ratio = 3 : 1

N‘s new capital = 64,973×3/4=48,730

S‘s new capital = 64,973×1/4=16,243

Working Notes

 

WN 1Calculation of Gaining Ratio 

Old Ratio (Kusum, Sneh and Usha) = 2:3:2

New Ratio (Sneh and Usha) = 3:4

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Sneh‘s share= 3/7-3/7=nil

Usha‘s share= 4/7-2/7=2/7

WN2 Adjustment of Goodwill

Total Goodwill of the Firm = 2,80,000

Kusum’s Share of Goodwill = 2,80,000×2/7=80,000

It is to be adjusted by the Gaining partners i.e. only by Usha

 

WN3 Adjustment of Capital

Tatal capital of the firm before kusum’s retirement =14,00,000

New Ratio (Sneh and Usha) = 3:4

Sneha‘s new captial= 14,00,000×3/7=6,00,000

Usha‘s new capital= 14,00,000×4/7=8,00,000

Lal, Bal and Pal are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 7. Lal retired from the firm. Bal and Pa ldecided to share future profits in the ratio of 2 : 3. The adjusted Capital Accounts of Bal and Pal showed balance of ₹ 49,500 and ₹ 1,05,750 respectively. The total amount to be paid to X is ₹ 1,35,750. This amount is to be paid by Bal and Pal in a manner that their capitals become proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio. Calculate the amount to be brought in or to be paid to partners. 

 

Answer:

New Capital = 49,500 + 1,05,750 + 1,35,750 = ₹ 2,91,000

Bal's New Capital=2,91,000×2/5=1,16,400

Pal's New Capital=2,91,000×3/5=1,74,600

Bal brings in ₹ 66,900 (1,16,400 – 49,500)

Pal brings in ₹ 68,850 (1,74,600 – 1,05,750)
