Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio

A :B :C=5:4:1 (Old Ratio)

A :B :C 😀 :E=3:4:2:2:1 (New Ratio)

Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio - New share 

=510−312=30−1560=1560 (Share of sacrifice)

B's share =4/10−4/12=24−20/60=4/60 (Share of sacrifice)

C's share =1/10−2/12=6−10/60=−4/60 (Share of gain)

WN2: Adjustment of Goodwill
D's share in goodwill for 2/12th share=90,000

Total goodwill of the firm = 90,000×12/2=  ` 5,40,000

E's share in goodwill = 5,40,000×1/12=  ` 45,000

C's share in goodwill = 5,40,000×4/60=  ` 36,000

 

Question 37:

A and B are partners in a firm with capital of   ` 60,000 and   ` 1,20,000 respectively. They decide to admit C into the partnership for 1/4th share in the future profits. C is to bring in a sum of   ` 70,000 as his capital. Calculate amount of goodwill.

Answer:

Actual Capital of the firm after admission of C = A’s Capital + B’s Capital + C’s Capital

= 60,000 + 1, 20,000 + 70,000 =   ` 2, 50,000

Capitalised value of the firm on the basis C’s share= 70,000×4/1=2,80,000

Goodwill= Capitalised value of the firm – actual capital of the firm

=2,80,000-2,50,000

=30,000

Working Notes:

1. Valued capital of firm as per Nisha’s Capital = 90,000×4/1=3,60,000

2. Actual Capital of all partner including Nisha =1,00,000 + 80,000+90,000=2,70,000

3. Goodwill of the Firm (Hidden)= 3,60,000-2,70,000=90,000

Nisha's Share in Goodwill×1/4 =22.500

Goodwill ` 22,500 will be shared by Vanshika and Shikha in sacrificing ratio 1:1

Vanshika =22,500×1/2=11,250

Shikha =22,500×1/2=11,250

 

Question 40:

X and Y are partners with capitals of   ` 50,000 each. They admit Z as a partner for 1/4th share in the profits of the firm. Z brings in   ` 80,000 as his share of capital. The Profit and Loss Account showed a credit balance of   ` 40,000 as on date of admission of Z.
Give necessary journal entries to record the goodwill.

Answer:

Total Capital of the firm after Z’s admission = X’s Capital + Y’s Capital + undistributed Profit +

Z’s Capital

= 50,000 + 50,000 + 40,000 + 80,000

=   ` 2,20,000

Capitalised value of the firm on the basis Z’s share= 80,000×4/1=3,20,000

Goodwill= Capitalised value of the firm – T         otal captial after z’s admission

=3,20,000-2,20,000=1,00,000
