WN 1: Adjustment of Goodwill to compensate Chandan:

Firm's Goodwill = ₹ 6,00,000

Chandan's share = 6,00,000 ×51​=₹1,20,000

 

Deepak and Elvish will compensate in Gaining Ratio (1:1)

Deepak's share = 1,20,000×1/2​=₹60,000

Elvish's share = 1,20,000×1/2​=₹60,000

 

WN 2: Calculation of new Capital

 

Adjusted Capital of Deepak and Elvish is 5,00,000+3,00,000 = 8,00,000

Capital to be paid to Chandan = 8,50,000

 

Total capital of new Firm = 8,00,000 + 8,50,000 = 16,50,000

(Note: Total Capital of new firm is calculated including retiring partner’s Capital)

 

Each partner’s Capital of Deepak and Elvish in their profit share ratio (1:1)

Each partner’s Capital =  16,50,000 ×1/2= 8,25,000

 

Deepak will bring in cash = 8,25,000 -5,00,000 = 3,25,000

Elvish will bring in cash = 8,25,000 -3,00,000 = 5,25,000

Question 50:

Lal, Bal and Pal are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 7. Lal retired from the firm. Bal and Pal decided to share future profits in the ratio of 2 : 3. The adjusted Capital Accounts of Bal and Pal showed balance of ₹ 49,500 and ₹ 1,05,750 respectively. The total amount to be paid to X is ₹ 1,35,750. This amount is to be paid by Bal and Pal in a manner that their capitals become proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio. Calculate the amount to be brought in or to be paid to partners. 

Answer:

New Capital = 49,500 + 1,05,750 + 1,35,750 = ₹ 2,91,000

Bal's New Capital=2,91,000×2/5=1,16,400

Pal's New Capital=2,91,000×3/5=1,74,600

Bal brings in ₹ 66,900 (1,16,400 – 49,500)
Pal brings in ₹ 68,850 (1,74,600 – 1,05,750)
