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

Working Notes:

WN1:Calculation of Gaining Ratio

A :B :C :D=2:1:2:1(Old ratio)

A :B 😀 =1:1:1(New ratio)

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

A's Gain =1/3−2/6=2−2/6=0

B's Gain =1/3−1/6=2−1/6=1/6

D's Gain =1/3−1/6=2−1/6=1/6

A:B:D=0:1:1

WN2: Calculation of Retiring Partner’s Share of Goodwill
C's share of goodwill=1,80,000×2/6=₹ 60,000

C's share of goodwill will be brought by B and D in their gaining ratio1:1

Therefore, B's Capital A/c will be debited with 60,000×1/2=₹ 30,000

And, D's Capital A/c will be debited with 60,000×1/2=₹ 30,000

A :B :C=6:5:4(Old ratio)

B :C=1:4 (New ratio)

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

B's Gain =1/5−5/15=3−5/15= −2/15(Sacrifice)

C's Gain =4/5−4/15=1/2−4/15=8/15

A's share of goodwill=1,80,000×6/15=₹ 72,000

B's share of goodwill=1,80,000×2/15=₹ 24,000
