Give necessary journal entries to record the goodwill.

Answer:

Total Capital of the firm after Z’s admission = X’s Capital + Y’s Capital + undistributed Profit +

Z’s Capital

= 50,000 + 50,000 + 40,000 + 80,000

=   ₹ 2,20,000

Capitalised value of the firm on the basis Z’s share= 80,000×4/1=3,20,000

Goodwill= Capitalised value of the firm – T         otal captial after z’s admission

=3,20,000-2,20,000=1,00,000

Working Notes:

Calculation of Goodwill brought in by Ajay

 

Value of firm’s goodwill

= Capitalised value of the firm – Net worth

Capitalised value of the firm

= Share of Ajay's capital × Reciprocal of Ajay's share

= 5,00,000 ×5/1=  ₹ 25,00,000

Net worth of the new firm 

= Total assets-Outside liabilities + Ajay's capital

= 15,00,000 - 5,00,000 + 5,00,000=   ₹ 15,00,000

Value of firm's goodwill 

= Capitalised value of firm - Net worth of the new firm

=25,00,000 - 15,00,000 

=   ₹ 10,00,000

Ajay's share of goodwill 

 

= 10,00,000 × 1/5

=  ₹ 2,00,000

 

 

Revaluation of Assets and reassessment of Liabilities

Question 43:

Arun and Vijay are partners in a firm sharing profit & loss in the ratio of 3: 2.

BALANCE SHEET (Extract)

Liabilities

₹

Assets

₹

 

 

Machinery

2,00,000

If the value of machinery in the Balance Sheet is excess by 33 1/3, find the value of machinery to be shown in the New Balance Sheet.

Answer:

 

If the value of machinery in the Balance Sheet is excess by 33 1/3

Then the book value is 100+33 1/3= 133 1/3

Excess Value of Machinery is 2,00,000×33 1/3 ÷ 133 1/3

 

Or

 

= 2,00,000×100/3 ×3/400 = 50,000

Value of machinery to be shown in the New Balance Sheet = 2,00,000-50,000= 1,50,000
