Murty will get =7,500×3/5=4,500

Shah will get =7,500×2/5=3,000

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 38:

Tushar and Paresh are partners in a firm with capital of   60,000 and   1,20,000 respectively. They decide to admit Nitish into the partnership for 1/4th share in the future profits. Nitish 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 = Tushar’s Capital + Paresh’s Capital + Nitish’s Capital

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

Capitalised value of the firm on the basis Nitish’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

 

Question 39:

Anil and Sunil are partners in a firm with fixed capitals of   3,20,000 and   2,40,000 respectively. They admitted Charu as a new partner for 1/4th share in the profits of the firm on 1st April, 2026. Charu brought   3,20,000 as her share of capital.

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
