Question 21:

Gold and Silver are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 5. They admit Copper on the condition that he will bring   ₹ 14,000 as his share of goodwill to be distributed between Gold and Silver. Copper's share in the future profits or losses will be 1/4th. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio and what amount of goodwill brought in by Copper will be received by Gold and Silver? 

 

Answer;

 

A

B

OLD RATION

2  :

5 

C is admitted for 1/4share

Let the combined share of A, B and C be = 1

Combined share of A and B after C’s admission = 1 − C’s share

=1-1/4

=3/4

New Ratio = Old Ratio - Combined share of A and B

A’s

=2/7×3/4

 

=6/28

B’s

=5/7×3/4

 

=15/28

Distribution of C’s share of Goodwill OR A and B will be covered

A will get =14,000×2/7=4,000

B will get =14,000×5/7=10,000

(b) B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. D is admitted paying a premium of  
₹ 2,100 for 1/4th share of profits which he acquires 1/6th from B and 1/12th from C.

WN1

Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio:

Let combined share of all partners after D’s admission be = 1

Combined share of B and C after C’s admission be = 1

=1-1/3

=2/3

 

B and C each share of profit after D’s admission will be

=2/3×1/2

=2/6

=1/3 each

 

Sacrificing Ratio =Old ratio- new ratio

 

A’s

=3/4-1/3

 

=5/12 (Sacrifice)

B’s

=1/4-1/3

 

=-1/12(gain)

WN2

C is gaining in new the firm. Hence, C’s gain in goodwill will be debited to his capital and given to B (sacrificing partner).

Goodwill of the firm= premium of Goodwill brought by D × reciprocal of D’s share

=15,000×3/1=45,000

C’s share of gain in goodwill= goodwill of the firm × C’s share of gain

=45,000×1/12=3,750
