For the year ended 31st March, 2025, proportionate profit of 2024 is to be taken into consideration. During the year ended 31st 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 B's share of profit till the date of his death.

 

Answer:


Profit for the year 2023-24 before adjusting bad debts =  ` 14,000

Bad debts =
 ` 2,000

Profits after adjusting bad debts =14,000 – 2,000=
 `.12,000

Proportionate profit of the firm (from April 01, 2023 to June 30, 2024)
=12,000×3/12=3,000

B’s share of profit (from April 01, 2023 to June 30, 2023)=

Question 13: Ram, Manu and Hari were partners in a firm. Hari died on 30th June, 2024. His share of profit from the closure of the last accounting year till the date of death was to be calculated on the basis of the average of three completed financial years of profits before death. Profits for the years ended 31st March, 2022, 2023 and 2024 were  ` 1,10,000;  ` 1,20,000 and  ` 1,30,000 respectively. Calculate Hari’s share of profit till the date of his death and pass necessary Journal entry for the same.


 

Answer:


Total profit previous three years = 1,10,000 + 1,20,000 + 1,30,000 = 3,60,000

Average Profit previous three years = 3,60,000/3 = 1,20,000

Hari died on 30th June, 2022 after 3 month of beginning of the year (from 1 April 2024 to 30th June, 2024)

Hari’s share of Profit for 3 month = 1,20,000 × 3 × 1 ÷ 12 × 3 =  ` 10,000

Working Notes:
WN1: Calculation of Y’s Share of Profit

Y's share=Firm's Profit×Y's Profit Share

Y's share=3,60,000×2/6=1,20,000 to be borne by gaining partners in gaining ratio

WN2: Calculation of Gaining Ratio

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

X's gain=3/5−3/6=3/30

Z's gain=2/5−1/6=7/30

Gaining Ratio=3:7

X's share=1,20,000×3/10=36,000

Z's share=1,20,000×7/10=84,000
