Working Notes:

WN1:Calculation of Gaining Ratio

M :N :O=3:2:1(Old ratio)

M :O =1:1(New ratio)

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

M's Gain =1/2−3/6=3−3/6=0

O's Gain=1/2−1/6=3−1/6=2/6

WN2: Calculation of Retiring Partner’s Share of Goodwill

N's share of goodwill=60,000×2/6=₹ 20,000

N's share of goodwill will be brought by O only.

Therefore, O's Capital A/c will be debited with ₹ 20,000

WN 1: Calculation Gaining and Sacrificing Ratio

Old Ratio (before retirement):

A : B : C : D = 3 : 3 : 2 : 2

Total parts = 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10

A = 3/10

B = 3/10

C = 2/10

D = 2/10

New Ratio (after D retires):

A : B : C = 3 : 2 : 1

Total parts = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

A = 3/6 = 1/2

B = 2/6 = 1/3

Working Notes
i. Calculation of B’s share of goodwill
A, B and C are sharing profits in ratio 4/9 : 3/9 : 2/9
B retires from the firm. Remaining partners agreed to pay him ₹ 1,50,000
B’s capital after making necessary adjustments ₹ 1,39,200
Therefore, Hidden Goodwill is ₹ (1,50,000 – 1,39,200) i.e. ₹ 10,800

ii Gaining Ratio
New profit sharing ratio between A and B is 5:3
A's Gain=5/8-5/9=13/72

C's Gain=3/8-2/9=11/72
Gaining ratio 13:11

Thus, B’s share of goodwill will be brought in by A and C in the gaining ratio 13:11 i.e.

A’s capital will be debited =10,800×13/24=5850

C’s capital will be debited =10,800×11/24=4950

Working notes:

Kapil’s capital

(after adjustments of reserve and profit on revaluation) 

=

₹3,50,000

Less: Shivam and Deepak paid him capital in settlement of his claim

=

₹4,20,000

Hidden Goodwill (Share of Kapil in Goodwill)

=

70,000

Shivam and Deepak Pay in 3:2

Shivam  = 70,000 × 3/5= 42,000

Deepak = 70,000 × 2/5= 28,000
