Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Y's Share of Goodwill
Goodwill of the Firm=  ₹ 60,000

Y's Share of Goodwill = 60,000 × 2/6 =  ₹ 20,000

20,000 will be debited to X's & Z's Capital A/c in gaining ratio of 3 : 1

X will pay = 20,000 × 3/4 =  ₹ 15,000

Z will pay = 20,000 × 1/4 =  ₹ 5,000 

WN2: Calculation of Y's Share of Profit
Previous Year's Profit =  ₹ 1,50,000

Y's share of Profit (till death) = Previous Year's Profit × Y's Profit Share × 3 months (April 01, 2023 till June 30, 2024)

Y's share of Profit (till death) = 1,50,000 × 2/6 × 3/12=  ₹ 12,500

 

Question 7:

P, R and S are in partnership sharing profits 4/8, 3/8 and 1/8 respectively. It is provided in the Partnership Deed that on the death of any partner his share of goodwill is to be valued at one-half of the net profit credited to his account during the last four completed years.
R died on 1st January, 2025. The firm's profits for the last four years ended 31st December, were as: 
2022− ₹ 1,20,000; 2023 − ₹ 80,000; 2024 − ₹ 40,000; 2025 − ₹ 80,000.
(a) Determine the amount that should be credited to R in respect of his share of Goodwill.
(b) Pass Journal entry without raising Goodwill Account for its adjustment.

 

Answer:

Calculation of R’s Share of Goodwill

Profit credited to R’s Capital Account in 4 years = Net profit for last four years × R’s Share
=1,20,000+80,000+80,000+4,000×3/8     

=3,20,000×3/8=1,20,000

Working Notes:

R’s Share of Goodwill =  ₹ 60,000

Old Ratio (P, R and S) = 4 : 3 : 1

R died.

Gaining Ratio = 4 : 1

This share of goodwill is to be distributed between P and S in their gaining ratio (i.e. 4 : 1)

p’s Share of Goodwill = 60,000×4/5=48,000

S’s share of Goodwill =60,000 ×1/5=12,000

Question 9: Dinkar, Navita and Vani were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 :2:1. Navita died on 30th June, 2024. Her share of profit for the intervening period was based on the sales during that period, which were   6,00,000. The rate of profit during the past four years had been 10% on sales. The firm closes its books on 31st March every year.

Answer:

Sales during that period of the firm from 1st April, 2024 to 30th June, 2024   6,00,000

The rate of profit during the past four years had been 10% on sales

Profit of the firm from 1st April, 2024 to 30th June, 2024 is   6,00,000 × 10/100 =  ₹ 60,000

Share of Profit is   60,000 × 2/6 =  ₹ 20,000

 

Question 10: Juhi, Riya and Pari are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of3 :2:1.Riya died on 30th June, 2024. For the year ended 31st March, 2025, proportionate profit of 2024 is to be taken into consideration. During the year ended 31 st March, 2025, bad debts of ₹2,000 had to be adjusted. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2024 was ₹14,000 before adjustment of bad debts.

Calculate Riya's share of profit till the date of her death.

 

Answer:

Annual Net profit = 14,000-2,000=12,000

Profit for 3 month (from 1st april, 2024 to 30th June, 2024)= 12,000×3/12=3,000

Riya's Share of Profit= 3,000×2/6= 1,000
