Numerical Question
Question 1.
(A)

Solution 1
(A)

C’s Share = 1/4
Remaining Share = 1 – 1/4 = 3/4
A’s New Share = 5/8 of 3/4 = 15/32
B’s New Share = 3/8 of 3/4 = 9/32
C’s Share = 1/4

Thus, the new profit sharing ratio = 15/32 : 9/32 : 1/4
New profit = (15 ∶ 9 ∶ 8)/32
New profit = 15 : 9 : 8

(A). Points for Students:-
Sometimes the old partners surrender a particular fraction of their share in favour of the new partner. In such cases the new partner’s share is calculated by adding the surrendered portion of share by the old partners. Old partner’s shares are calculated by deducting the surrendered share from their old shares.

Question 1.
(B)

Solution 1
(B)

C’s Share = 9/21
Remaining Share = 1 – 9/21 = 12/21
A’s New Share = 21/30 of 12/21 = 2/5
B’s New Share = 9/30 of 12/21 = 6/35
C’s Share = 9/21

Thus, the new profit sharing ratio = 2/5 : 6/35 : 9/21
New profit = (42 ∶ 18 ∶ 45)/105
New profit = 42 : 18 : 45 or 14 : 6 : 15

(B).Points for Students:-
Sometimes the new partner ‘Purchases’ his share of profit from the old partners equally. In such cases the new profit sharing ratio of the old partners will be ascertained by deducting the sacrifice made by them from their existing share of profit.

Question 2.
(A)

Solution 2
(A)

R is acquires 1/7th share equally form P and Q.
R acquires form P = 1/2 × 1/7 = 1/14
R acquires form Q = 1/2 × 1/7 = 1/14

Computation of New Share:-
P’s Share = 4/7-1/14=(8 – 1)/14= 7/14
Q’s Share = 3/7-1/14=(6 – 1)/14= 5/14

R’s Share = 1/7
Thus, the new profit sharing ratio = 7/14 : 5/14 : 1/7
New profit = (7 ∶ 5 ∶ 2)/14
New profit = 7 : 5 : 2

(A).Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Question 2.
(B)

Solution 2
(B)

Profit Share give T = 1/8
T acquires form R = 1/2 × 1/8 = 1/16
T acquires form S = 1/2 × 1/8 = 1/16

Computation of New Share:-
R’s Share = 3/5-1/16=(48 – 5)/80= 43/80
S’s Share = 2/5-1/16=(32 – 5)/80= 27/80

T’s Share = 1/16+1/16=(1 + 1)/16=2/16
Thus, the new profit sharing ratio = 43/80 : 27/80 : 2/16
New profit = (43 ∶ 27 ∶ 10)/80
New profit = 43 : 27 : 10

(B). Points for Students:-
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows: Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Question 2.
(C)

Solution 2
(C)

New Share = Old Share – Sacrificing Share
P’s new share = 3/6-1/16=(24 – 3)/48= 21/48
Q’s new share = 2/6-1/16=(16 – 3)/48= 13/48
R’s new share = 1/6

S’s new share = 1/8
Thus, the new profit sharing ratio = 21/48 : 13/48 : 1/16 : 1/8
New profit = (21 ∶ 13 ∶ 8 ∶ 6)/48
New profit = 21 : 13 : 8 : 6

(C). Points for Students:-
When only the ratio of new partners is given in the question, then in the absence of any other agreement, it is presumed that the old partners will continue to share the remaining profits in the same ratio in which they were sharing before the admission of the new partner.

Question 3.

Solution 3
C’s Share = 1/4
Remaining Share = 1-1/4= 3/4
A’s new share = 3/5 of 3/4 = 9/20
B’s new share = 2/5 of 3/4 = 6/20
C’s new share = 1/4

New Ratio of A, B and C = 9/20:6/20:1/4
New profit = (9 ∶ 6 ∶ 5)/20
New profit = 9 : 6 : 5

D’s Share = 1/5
He will acquire 1/3 of 1/5 = 1/15 each from A, B and C
A’s new share = 9/20-1/15 = (27 – 4)/60 = 23/60
B’s new share = 6/20-1/15 = (18 – 4)/60 = 14/60
C’s new share = 5/20-1/15 = (15 – 4)/60 = 11/60
D’s new share = 1/5

New Ratio of A, B , C and D = 23/60:14/60:11/60:1/5
New profit = (23 ∶ 14 ∶ 11 ∶ 12 )/60
New profit of A, B, C and D = 23 : 14 : 11 : 12

Points for Students:-
Sometimes the new partner ‘Purchases’ his share of profit from the old partners equally. In such cases the new profit sharing ratio of the old partners will be ascertained by deducting the sacrifice made by them from their existing share of profit.

Q4.
(A)

X and Y are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. Z is admitted with 5/11th share which he takes 3/11th from X and 2/11th from Y. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of the partners.
Solution 4
(A)

Z is acquire = 5/11 , X is surrender = 3/11 , Y is surrender = 2/11

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
X’s New Share = 2/3-3/11=(22 – 9)/33= 13/33

Y’s New Share = 1/3-2/11=(11 – 6)/33= 5/33
Z’s New Share = 5/11

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 13/33 ∶ 5/33 ∶ 5/11
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (13 ∶ 5 ∶ 15)/33
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 13 ∶ 5 ∶ 15

(A). Points for Students:-
Calculation of New profit Sharing Ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share

Q4.
(B)

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. They admit C on 1/4th share which he acquires 1/6th from A and 1/12th from B. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of the partners.
Solution 4
(B)

C is acquire = 1/4 , A is surrender = 1/6 , B is surrender = 1/12

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 5/8-1/6=(15 – 4)/24= 11/24
B’s New Share = 3/8-1/12=(9 – 2)/24= 7/24
C’s New Share = 1/4

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11/24 ∶ 7/24 ∶ 1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (11 ∶ 7 ∶ 6)/24
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11 ∶ 7 ∶ 6

(B). Points for Students:-
Following adjustments are needed at the time of the admission of a new partner:
1. Calculation of new profit sharing ratio.
2. Accounting treatment of Goodwill.
3. Accounting treatment of revaluation of assets and liabilities.
4. Accounting treatment of reserves and accumulated profits.
5. Adjustment of Capital on the basis of new profit sharing ratio.

Question 5.

Solution 5. Profit Sharing ratio of A, B and C = 1 : 2 : 3.
D’s Share = 1/6
A’s Share = 1/6-1/24=(4-1)/24=3/24
B’s Share = 2/6-1/24=(8-1)/24=7/24
C’s Share = 3/6-1/12=(6-1)/12=5/12
New Ratio of A, B, C and D = 3/24:7/24:5/12:1/6
New Ratio of A, B, C and D = (3∶7∶10∶4)/24
New Ratio of A, B, C and D = 3 : 7 : 10 : 4.

Points for Students:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrificing Ratio
We can calculate below formulas also by above formula:-
Old Ratio = New Ratio + Sacrificing Ratio
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Question 6.

Solution 6
C is acquire = 1/2 from A and B in the ratio of 3:1.
A is surrender = 3/4 , B is surrender = 1/4
A’s share = 1/2 of 3/4 = 3/8
B’s share = 1/2 of 1/4 = 1/8

D’s New Share = 1/10+3/50+1/20= (10+6+5)/100=21/100

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/10 ∶ 12/50 ∶ 5/20:21/100
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (30 ∶ 24 ∶ 25 ∶21)/100
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 30 ∶ 24 ∶ 25 ∶21

Points for Students:-
At the time of admission, if there is any General Reserve, Reserve Fund or the balance of Profit and Loss Account appearing in the balance sheet, it must be transferred to Old Partner’s Capital Accounts in their old profit sharing ratio. The new partner is not entitled to any share of such reserves of profits, as these are undistributed profits earned by the old partners.

Question 10.

Solution 10
A B
Old Ratio 3/5 : 2/5
Surrender Share 1/3 1/4
A’s share = 3/5 of 1/3 = 3/15 = 1/5

New Profit Sharing Ratio = (4 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶1)/10
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶1

Points for Students:-
A new partnership deed is prepared at the time of admission of a new partner, as the old partnership deed comes to an end. According to Section 31 of the Indian partnership act, a new partner can be admitted only with the consent of all the existing partners.

Question 11.

Solution 11
(i) New profit sharing ratio of A, B and C:-
A’s share = 2/5 of 1/3 = 2/15

B’s share = 3/5 of 1/3 = 3/15
Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 3/5-2/15=(9 – 2)/15= 7/15

B’s New Share = 2/5-3/15=(6 – 3)/15= 3/15

C’s New Share = 1/3

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 7/15 ∶ 3/15 ∶ 1/3
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (7 ∶ 3 ∶ 5)/15
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 7 ∶ 3 ∶ 5

(ii) New profit sharing ratio of A, B, C and D:-
A B C
Old Ratio 7/15 : 3/15 : 5/15
Surrender Share 1/2 1/2
A’s share = 1/2 of 1/5 = 1/10

C’s share = 1/2 of 1/5 = 1/10
Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 7/15-1/10=(14 – 3)/30= 11/30

B’s New Share = 3/15
C’s New Share = 5/15-1/10=(10 – 3)/30= 7/30

New Profit Sharing Ratio = (11 ∶ 6 ∶ 7 ∶ 6)/30
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11 ∶ 6 ∶ 7 ∶ 6

Points for Students:-
Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
We can calculate other formulas by the above formulas:-
Old Ratio = New Ratio + Surrender Share
Surrender Ratio = Old Ratio – New Share

Question 12.

Solution 12
Total Share of R and S = 1/4+1/5=(5 + 4)/20= 9/20
Remaining Share for P and Q = 1-9/20=11/20
P’s Share = 11/20× 3/5= 33/100
Q’s Share = 11/20× 2/5= 22/100

New Profit Sharing Ratio of P : Q : R : S = 33/100 ∶ 22/100 ∶ 1/4 ∶ 1/5
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (33 ∶ 22 ∶ 25 ∶ 20)/100
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 33 ∶ 22 ∶ 25 ∶ 20

Profit of the Firm Rs. 2,00,000 is distributed in new profit sharing ratio.
P’s Share in Profit = Rs. 2,00,000 × 33/100 = Rs. 66,000
Q’s Share in Profit = Rs. 2,00,000 × 22/100 = Rs. 44,000
R’s Share in Profit = Rs. 2,00,000 × 25/100 = Rs. 50,000

Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Sacrifice Ratio of P, Q and R = (3 ∶ 2 ∶ 1)/30
Sacrifice Ratio of P, Q and R = 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 1

Computation of New Ratio:-
P’s New Share = 5/10- 3/30=(15 – 3)/30=12/30
Q’s New Share = 3/10- 2/30=(9 – 2)/30=7/30
R’s New Share = 2/10- 1/30=(6 – 1)/30=5/30

S’s New Share = 1/5
New Ratio of P, Q, R and S = 12/30:7/30:5/30:1/5

New Ratio of P, Q, R and S = (12 ∶ 7 ∶ 5 ∶ 6)/30
New Ratio of P, Q, R and S = 12∶ 7∶ 5 ∶ 6

Points for Students:-
When the new partner does not bring his share of goodwill/premium in Cash: Accounting Standard (AS) 26 (Intangible Assets) Specifies that goodwill can be recorded in the books only when some consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. It means that only purchased goodwill can be recorded in the books. At the time of admission, retirement or death of a partner or in case of change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners, goodwill account cannot be raised in the books of the firm because it will be non-purchased goodwill and no consideration in money or money’s worth has been for it.

Q27.

Solution 27
First :-

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Old Ratio of X and Y = 3:2
Z’s Share = 1/4
Remaining Share = 1-1/4= 3/4

X’s New Share = 3/5 of 3/4 = 9/20
Y’s New Share = 2/5 of 3/4 = 6/20
Z’s New Share = 1/4

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 9/20:6/20:1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (9 ∶ 6 ∶ 5)/20
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 9 ∶ 6 ∶ 5
Sacrificing Ratio = 3:2

Second :-

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Sacrificing Ratio = 1:1

Z acquires 1/2 of 1/4 = 1/8 from each of X and Y.
X’s New Ratio = 3/5- 1/8=(24 – 5)/40= 19/40

Y’s New Ratio = 2/5- 1/8=(16 – 5)/40= 11/40

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 19/40:11/40:1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (19 ∶ 11 ∶ 10)/40
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 19 ∶ 11 ∶ 10

Third :-

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Points for Students:-
Concept Hidden Goodwill: Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners. For example, A and B partners with capitals of Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. They admit C as a partner with 1/4 th share. C is to contribute Rs. 34,000 as his capital. In such a case, the total capital of the firm, based on C’s share ought to be Rs. 34,000 ×4/1 = 1,36,000. But the combined capital of A, B and C becomes only Rs.1,04,000 (Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 34,000). As such the value of total goodwill of the firm should be taken as Rs. 1,36,000 – Rs. 1,04,000 = Rs.32,000.

Question 28.

Solution 28

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
A’s Surrender = 5/10 of 1/5 = 1/10
B’s Surrender = 3/10 of 1/6 = 1/20
C’s Surrender = 2/10 of 1/8 = 1/40

Sacrificing Ratio = 1/10:1/20:1/40
Sacrificing Ratio = (4 ∶ 2 ∶ 1)/40
Sacrificing Ratio =4 ∶ 2 ∶ 1

Points for Students:-
When the new partner brings in proportionate capital: Sometimes the capital of the new partner is not given in the question. He may be required to bring in proportionate capital. In such cases the new partner’s capital will be calculated on the basis of the capitals of the old partners remaining after all adjustments and revaluation.

Solution 31
Sacrificing Ratio B and C = 1,25,000 : 25,000, Which is 5 : 1.
B’s surrender = 1/4 of 5/6 = 5/24
C’s surrender = 1/4 of 1/6 = 1/24

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
A’s New Ratio = 3/6
B’s New Ratio = 2/6 – 5/24 = (8 – 5)/24=3/24
C’s New Ratio = 1/6 – 1/24 = (4 – 1)/24=3/24
D’s New Ratio = 6/24

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/6:3/24:3/24:1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (12 ∶ 3 ∶ 3 ∶ 6)/24
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 12∶ 3 ∶ 3∶6
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4∶ 1 ∶ 1∶2

Points for Students:-
Adjustment of Old Partner’s Capital Accounts on the basis of new partner’s capital: Sometimes, on the admission of a new partner it is decided that the capitals of the old partners will be adjusted on the basis of new partner’s capital to make them proportionate to their share of profits. In such questions, first of all the entire Capital of the new firm should be determined on the basis of new partner’s capital. Then the Capital of each partner is ascertained by dividing the total Capital according to his profit sharing ratio

Question 32.

Solution 32

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
X’s Ratio = 2/3-1/3=(2 – 1)/3=1/3
Y’s Ratio = 1/3-1/3=0

Points for Students:-
Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners.

Question 33.

Solution 33

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
(i) C admitted for 1/4th Share
Remaining Share = 1-1/4= 3/4
A’s Share = 2/3 of 3/4 = 2/4
B’s Share = 1/3 of 3/4 = 1/4
C’s Share = 1/4
New Share = 2:1:1

(ii) D admitted for 3/5th Share
Remaining Share = 1-3/5= 2/5
A’s Share = 2/4 of 2/5 = 4/20=2/10
B’s Share = 1/4 of 2/5 = 2/20=1/10
C’s Share = 1/4 of 2/5 = 1/10
D’s Share = 3/5=6/10
New Share = 2:1:1:6

(iii) E admitted for 1/6th Share
Remaining Share = 1-1/6= 5/6
A’s Share = 2/10 of 5/6 = 10/60=1/6
B’s Share = 1/10 of 5/6 = 5/60=1/12
C’s Share = 1/10 of 5/6 = 5/60=1/12
D’s Share = 6/10 of 5/6 = 5/10
E’s Share = 1/6

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 1/6:1/12:1/12:5/10:1/6
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (10 ∶ 5 ∶ 5 ∶ 30 ∶10)/60
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 10 ∶ 5 ∶ 5 ∶ 30 ∶10
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2∶ 1 ∶ 1∶6∶2

Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.

Question 34.

Solution 34

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
1.) Computation of goodwill of R’s Share and S’s Share:-
Total goodwill of the firm = Rs. 3,00,000
R’s Share of goodwill = Rs. 3,00,000 × 3/12 = Rs. 75,000
S’s Share of goodwill = Rs. 3,00,000 × 2/12 = Rs. 50,000

2.) Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
P’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/5-3/12=(24 – 15)/60= 9/60
Q’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/5-4/12=(36 – 20)/60= 16/60

Sacrificing Ratio = 9/60:16/60
Sacrificing Ratio = 9 : 16.

Points for Students:-
When the new partner brings in proportionate capital: Sometimes the capital of the new partner is not given in the question. He may be required to bring in proportionate capital. In such cases the new partner’s capital will be calculated on the basis of the capitals of the old partners remaining after all adjustments and revaluation.

Question 35.

Solution 35

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Average Profit = Total Profit × (Total Profit)/(Number of Year)

Total Profit = Rs. 3,50,000 + Rs. 4,75,000 + Rs. 6,70,000 + Rs. 7,30,000

Average Profit = 22,25,000/4
Average Profit = Rs. 5,56,250

Net Average Profit = Average Profit –Management Cost
Net Average Profit = Rs. 5,56,250 – Rs. 56,250
Net Average Profit = Rs. 5,00,000

Value of Firm’s Goodwill = Rs. 5,00,000 × 2
Value of Firm’s Goodwill = Rs. 10,00,000
Raghav’s Share in Goodwill = Rs. 5,00,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 2,50,000

Points for Students:-
Adjustment of Old Partner’s Capital Accounts on the basis of new partner’s capital: Sometimes, on the admission of a new partner it is decided that the capitals of the old partners will be adjusted on the basis of new partner’s capital to make them proportionate to their share of profits. In such questions, first of all the entire Capital of the new firm should be determined on the basis of new partner’s capital.

Ram’s Share = 3/5-5/13=(39-25)/65=14/65
Rahim’s Share = 2/5-5/13=(26-25)/65=1/65

Sacrificing Ratio = 14/65:1/65
Sacrificing Ratio = 14 : 1
Raj’s Share in Goodwill = Rs. 5,20,000 × 3/13 = Rs. 1,20,000

Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Goodwill = Rs. 25,000
C’s Share of goodwill = Rs. 25,000 × 1/5 = Rs. 5,000

Points for Students:-
When Goodwill/Premium brought in by the new partner is withdrawn by the old partners: Sometimes, the amount of goodwill brought in by new partner is withdrawn by the old partners. In this case, in addition to the two Journal entries explained above, one more Journal entry is required to be passed:
Old Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
To Cash/Bank A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium withdrawn by the old partners)
It must be noted that sometimes partners withdraw only 1/2 or 1/4 th amount of goodwill. In such cases, entry should be passed with the withdrawn amount only.

Question 39.

Solution 39
(i) Computation of C’s Share of Goodwill:-

Years Amount
31st March, 2014 50,000
31st March, 2015(Rs. 1,20,000 – Rs. 40,000)80,000
31st March, 2016(Rs. 60,000 – Rs. 50,000)(10,000)
31st March, 2017(Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 1,50,000)50,000
31st March, 2018 1,90,000
 to Total Profit3,60,000

Average Normal Profit = (toTotal Profit)/(Normal Year)
Average Normal Profit = 3,60,000/5
Average Normal Profit = Rs. 72,000
Capitalised Value of Average Profits = (Average Normal Profit)/(Normal Rate of Return)

Capitalised Value of Average Profits = 72,000/12 × 100 = Rs. 6,00,000
Capitalised Value of Average Profits = Rs. 6,00,000

Capital Employed = Total Assets – External Liabilities
Capital Employed = Rs. 7,00,000 – Rs. 2,20,000
Capital Employed = Rs. 4,80,000

Goodwill = Capitalised Value of Average Profits – Net Assets
Goodwill = Rs. 6,00,000 – Rs. 4,80,000
Goodwill = Rs. 1,20,000

C’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 1,20,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 30,000
(ii)

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
(1) C’s Share = 1/5
A’s Sacrificed = 1/4×1/5= 1/20
A’s Sacrificed = 1/4×4/5= 4/20
Sacrificing Ratio of A and B = 1 : 4

(2) Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
A’s New Ratio = 3/5-1/20=(12-1)/20=11/20
B’s New Ratio = 2/5-4/20=(8-4)/20=4/20
C’s New Ratio = 1/4

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11/20:4/20:1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (11 ∶ 4 ∶ 5 )/20
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11 ∶ 4 ∶ 5

Points for Students:-
If new partner brings his share of goodwill in cash, and if the Goodwill Account already appears in the books of the firm, first of all the existing Goodwill Account will have to be written off. For this purpose old partner’s Capital Account are debited in their old profit sharing ratio and Goodwill Account is credited. Thus, the following entry is passed to write off the existing goodwill:
Old Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
To Goodwill A/c
(Goodwill written off in old ratio)

Question 40 (new).

Solution 40 (new). Profit of year 2014 = Rs. 50,000
Profit of year 2015 = Rs. 1,20,000 – Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 80,000
Profit of year 2016 = (Rs. 60,000) + Rs. 50,000 = (Rs. 10,000)
Profit of year 2017 = (Rs. 1,00,000) + (Rs. 1,50,000) = Rs. 50,000
Profit of year 2018 = Rs. 1,90,000
Total Profit = Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 80,000 – Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 1,90,000
Total Profit = Rs. 3,60,000
Average Profit = (Total Profit )/(Number of Years)
Average Profit = 3,60,000/5
Average Profit = Rs. 72,000
Net Assets = Assets – Liabilities
Net Assets = 7,00,000 – 2,20,000
Net Assets = 4,80,000
Capitalised Value = Average Profits × 100/(Normal rate of return)
Capitalised Value = Rs. 72000 × 100/12
Capitalised Value = Rs. 6,00,000

Calculation of Goodwill:-
Goodwill = Capitalised Value – Net Assets
Goodwill = Rs. 6,00,000 – Rs. 4,80,000
Goodwill = Rs. 1,20,000
a) C’s Goodwill = Rs. 1,20,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 30,000

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Total Profit = Rs. 32,000 + Rs. 38,000 + Rs. 35,000 + Rs. 31,000 = Rs. 1,36,000

Average Profit = 1,36,000/4
Average Profit = Rs. 34,000
Goodwill = Rs. 34,000 × 3 = Rs. 1,02,000
S’s Share = Rs. 1,02,000 × 1/5 = Rs. 20,400

Points for Students:-
When the new partner does not bring his share of goodwill/premium in Cash: Accounting Standard (AS) 26 (Intangible Assets) Specifies that goodwill can be recorded in the books only when some consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. It means that only purchased goodwill can be recorded in the books. At the time of admission, retirement or death of a partner or in case of change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners, goodwill account cannot be raised in the books of the firm because it will be non-purchased goodwill and no consideration in money or money’s worth has been for it.

(Current Account of new partner debited from his share of goodwill on his admission and Capital Accounts of old partner’s credited in their sacrificing ratio)

Question 42.

Solution 42

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Points for Students:-
Revaluation Account: Sometimes this account is called as ‘Profit & Loss Adjustment A/c’. This account is a nominal account in nature. Therefore, if there is a loss due to revaluation, revaluation account is debited and if the revaluation results in a profit, the revaluation account is credited.

Question 43.

Solution 43

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
A’s Share = 1/6
X’s Sacrifice = 1/12
Y’s Sacrifice = 1/12

Computation of New Share:-
X’s New Share = 1/2-1/12=(6-1)/12=5/12
Y’s New Share = 1/3-1/12=(4-1)/12=3/12
Z’s New Share = 1/6

A’s New Share = 1/6
New Ratio of X, Y, Z and A = 5/12:3/12:1/6:1/6
New Ratio of X, Y, Z and A = (5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 2)/12
New Ratio of X, Y, Z and A = 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 2

Points for Students:-
At the time of admission, if there is any General Reserve, Reserve Fund or the balance of Profit and Loss Account appearing in the balance sheet, it must be transferred to Old Partner’s Capital Accounts in their old profit sharing ratio. The new partner is not entitled to any share of such reserves of profits, as these are undistributed profits earned by the old partners.

Solution 45

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Old Ratio = 3 : 1
New Ratio = 4 : 3 : 2

Sacrificing or Gaining Ratio:-
A’s Share = 3/4-3/4=(27-16)/36=11/36 (Sacrifice)
B’s Share = 1/4-3/9=(9-12)/36=3/36 (Gain)
C’s Share = 2/9 (Gain)

Sacrificing Ratio = 11/(36 ):3/(36 ):2/9
Sacrificing Ratio = (11 ∶ 3 ∶8)/(36 )
Sacrificing Ratio = 11 : 3 : 8

C’s Share in Goodwill = Rs. 2,00,000 × 9/2 = Rs. 9,00,000
The amount of goodwill be contributed B will be Rs. 9,00,000 × 3/36 = Rs. 75,000

Points for Students:-
If the claim for workmen compensation is lower than the amount of Workmen Compensation Reserve: The amount of claim is credited to ‘Provision for Workmen Compensation Claim A/c’ and balance is credited to the Capital Accounts of old partners in their old profit sharing ratio (Suppose Workmen Compensation Reserve is Rs.50,000 and liability for claim is Rs.20,000). The Journal entry passed is:

Y’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/4-1/12=(3 – 4)/12=-1/12 (Gain)

2) Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 30,000 × 3/1 = Rs. 90,000
Y’s Gain = Rs. 90,000 × 1/12 = Rs. 7,500

Points for Students:-
When Goodwill/Premium brought in by the new partner is withdrawn by the old partners: Sometimes, the amount of goodwill brought in by new partner is withdrawn by the old partners. In this case, in addition to the two Journal entries explained above, one more Journal entry is required to be passed:
Old Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
To Cash/Bank A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium withdrawn by the old partners)

Question 47.

Solution 47

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Old ratio = 2:2:1
New ratio = 13:8:4:5
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/5-13/30=(12 – 13)/30=-1/30(Gain)
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/5-8/30=(12 – 8)/30=4/30 (Sacrifice)
C’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/5-4/30=(6 – 4)/30=2/30 (Sacrifice)

Points for Students:-
Concept Hidden Goodwill: Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners. For example, A and B partners with capitals of Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. They admit C as a partner with 1/4 th share. C is to contribute Rs. 34,000 as his capital. In such a case, the total capital of the firm, based on C’s share ought to be Rs. 34,000 ×4/1 = 1,36,000. But the combined capital of A, B and C becomes only Rs.1,04,000 (Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 34,000). As such the value of total goodwill of the firm should be taken as Rs. 1,36,000 – Rs. 1,04,000 = Rs.32,000.

Question 48.

Solution 48

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Question 52.

Solution 52

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Old Ratio of A and B = 7 : 3
New Ratio of A, B and C = 3:2:1

Computation of Sacrificing and Gaining Ratio:-
A’s Ratio = 7/10-3/6=(21-15)/30=6/30(Sacrifice)
B’s Ratio = 3/10-2/6=(9-10)/30=1/30(Gain)
B’s Ratio = 1/6 (Gain)

Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 40,000 × 6/1 = Rs. 2,40,000
B’s Compensation in Goodwill = Rs. 2,40,000 × 1/30 = Rs. 8,000

Points for Students:-
Adjustment of Old Partner’s Capital Accounts on the basis of new partner’s capital: Sometimes, on the admission of a new partner it is decided that the capitals of the old partners will be adjusted on the basis of new partner’s capital to make them proportionate to their share of profits. In such questions, first of all the entire Capital of the new firm should be determined on the basis of new partner’s capital. Then the Capital of each partner is ascertained by dividing the total Capital according to his profit sharing ratio.

The Journal entry passed is:
Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr. 50,000
To Provision for Workmen Compensation Claim A/c 20,000
To Partner’s Capital A/c 30,000

Question 54.

Solution 54

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Hidden Goodwill
Total Capital of the firm = Rs. 13,00,000 + Rs. 20,00,000 + Rs. 12,00,000 = Rs. 45,00,000
Total Capital of the firm based on Z’s Capital = 12,00,000 × 5/1 = Rs. 60,00,000

Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 60,00,000 – Rs. 45,00,000 = Rs. 15,00,000
Hidden Goodwill = Goodwill of the firm – Showing in P & L
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 6,00,000
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 9,00,000
Z’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 9,00,000 × 1/5 = 1,80,000

Points for Students:-
Concept Hidden Goodwill: Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners. For example, A and B partners with capitals of Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. They admit C as a partner with 1/4 th share. C is to contribute Rs. 34,000 as his capital. In such a case, the total capital of the firm, based on C’s share ought to be Rs. 34,000 ×4/1 = 1,36,000. But the combined capital of A, B and C becomes only Rs.1,04,000 (Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 34,000). As such the value of total goodwill of the firm should be taken as Rs. 1,36,000 – Rs. 1,04,000 = Rs.32,000.

Question 69.

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Hidden Goodwill
Net Worth = Sundry Assets – Outside Liabilities
Net Worth = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 5,00,000
Net Worth = Rs. 10,00,000
Net Worth = Rs. 10,00,000 + Rs. 5,00,000 = Rs. 15,00,000
Total Capital of the firm based on Ajay’s Capital = 5,00,000 × 5/1 = Rs. 25,00,000

Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 25,00,000 – Rs. 15,00,000 = Rs. 10,00,000
Hidden Goodwill = Goodwill of the firm – Showing in P & L
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 10,00,000
Ajay’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 10,00,000 × 1/5 = 2,00,000

Points for Students:-
When the new partner brings in proportionate capital: Sometimes the capital of the new partner is not given in the question. He may be required to bring in proportionate capital. In such cases the new partner’s capital will be calculated on the basis of the capitals of the old partners remaining after all adjustments and revaluation.

Question 70.

Solution 70

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Hidden Goodwill
Net Worth = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 1,80,000 + Rs. 2,00,000
Net Worth = Rs. 8,80,000
Total Capital of the firm based on D’s Capital = 2,00,000 × 5/1 = Rs. 10,00,000
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 10,00,000 – Rs. 8,80,000 = Rs. 1,20,000
D’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 1,20,000 × 1/5 = 24,000

Points for Students:-
Adjustment of Old Partner’s Capital Accounts on the basis of new partner’s capital: Sometimes, on the admission of a new partner it is decided that the capitals of the old partners will be adjusted on the basis of new partner’s capital to make them proportionate to their share of profits. In such questions, first of all the entire Capital of the new firm should be determined on the basis of new partner’s capital. Then the Capital of each partner is ascertained by dividing the total Capital according to his profit sharing ratio.

Question 71.

Solution 71

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Hidden Goodwill
Net Worth = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 1,50,000 + Rs. 1,60,000 + Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 10,000 + 3,00,000 (Z’s Capital)
Net Worth = Rs. 9,40,000
Total Capital of the firm based on Z’s Capital = 3,00,000 × 5/1 = Rs. 15,00,000

Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 9,40,000 = Rs. 5,60,000
Z’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 5,60,000 × 1/5 = 1,12,000

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
X’s Sacrifice = 7/10-3/5=(7 – 6)/10=1/10
Y’s Sacrifice = 3/10-1/5=(3 – 2)/10=1/10
Sacrificing Ratio = 1:1

Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Net Worth = Rs. 9,00,000
Total Capital of the firm based on Z’s Capital = 3,60,000 × 10/3 = Rs. 12,00,000
Hidden Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 12,00,000 – Rs. 9,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000
Z’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 3,00,000 × 3/10 = 90,000

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
X’s Surrenders = 1/3 of 3/5=3/15=1/5
Y’s Surrenders = 1/4 of 2/5=2/20=1/10
Sacrificing Ratio = 1/5 : 1/10
Sacrificing Ratio = (2 ∶ 1)/10
Sacrificing Ratio = 2 ∶ 1

Points for Students:-
When the amount of goodwill/premium brought by the new partner is retained in the business: If the new partner brings in his share of goodwill in cash and this amount is retained in the business, the amount is credited to the Capital Accounts of old partners in their sacrificing ratio. The following two entries are passed for this purpose.
(a) Cash/Bank A/c Dr.
To Premium for Goodwill A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium brought in cash by new partner)

Less: Net worth of the business:
Adjusted Capital of all the partners
(Capital + Workmen Compensation Reserve + Creditors)
A = 5,00,000 + (12,000) + (18,000) + 36,000 = 5,06,000
B = 4,00,000 + (6,000) + (9,000) + 18,000 = 4,03,000
C = 2,00,000 + (2,000) + (3,000) + 6,000 = 2,01,000
D = 1,50,000
Net worth of the business = Rs. 5,06,000 + Rs. 4,03,000 + Rs. 2,01,000 + Rs. 1,50,000 = 12,60,000
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 12,60,000
Hidden Goodwill = Rs. 2,40,000
D’s Share of Goodwill = Rs. 2,40,000 × 1/10 = Rs. 24,000

Working Note:-
Computation of New Ratios:-
Share of Z = 1/4
Balance of Profit = 1-1/4= 3/4

X’s New Ratio = 2/3× 3/4=6/12

Y’s New Ratio = 1/3- 3/4=1/4

Z’s New Ratio = 1/4

Computation of Capital:-
Total Capital of the firm = Rs. 40,000 × 4/1 = Rs. 1,60,000
X’s Capital = Rs. 1,60,000 × 2/4 = Rs. 80,000
Y’s Capital = Rs. 1,60,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 40,000
Z’s Capital = Rs. 1,60,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 40,000

Points for Students:-
Concept Hidden Goodwill: Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners. For example, A and B partners with capitals of Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. They admit C as a partner with 1/4 th share. C is to contribute Rs. 34,000 as his capital. In such a case, the total capital of the firm, based on C’s share ought to be Rs. 34,000 ×4/1 = 1,36,000. But the combined capital of A, B and C becomes only Rs.1,04,000 (Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 34,000). As such the value of total goodwill of the firm should be taken as Rs. 1,36,000 – Rs. 1,04,000 = Rs.32,000.

Solution 83

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of New Ratio:-
A’s New Ratio = 5/10-1/8=(20 – 5)/40=15/40

B’s New Ratio = 3/10-1/8=(12 – 5)/40=7/40
C’s New Ratio = 2/10
D’s New Ratio = 1/4

New Profit of A, B, C and D = 15/40:7/40:2/10:1/4
New Profit of A, B, C and D = (15 ∶ 7 ∶ 8 ∶ 10)/40
New Profit of A, B, C and D = 15 ∶ 7 ∶ 8 ∶ 10
Total Capital of the firm Rs. 3,20,000

A’s Capital = Rs. 3,20,000 × 15/40 = Rs. 1,20,000
B’s Capital = Rs. 3,20,000 × 7/40 = Rs. 56,000
C’s Capital = Rs. 3,20,000 × 8/40 = Rs. 64,000

D’s Capital = Rs. 3,20,000 × 10/40 = Rs. 80,000
A will bring in Rs. 1,20,000 – Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 20,000
B will withdrew in Rs. 75,000 – Rs. 56,000 = Rs. 19,000
C will bring in Rs. 64,000 – Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 4,000
D will bring in Rs. 80,000

Points for Students:-
When the new partner brings in proportionate capital: Sometimes the capital of the new partner is not given in the question. He may be required to bring in proportionate capital. In such cases the new partner’s capital will be calculated on the basis of the capitals of the old partners remaining after all adjustments and revaluation.

B’s Capital = Rs. 70,000 + Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 9,000 = Rs. 1,09,000

C bring Rs. 1,00,000 as Capital for his 1/4th share
Total Capital of the firm Rs. 1,00,000 × 4/1 = Rs. 4,00,000
A’s Capital = Rs. 4,00,000 × 7/16 = Rs. 1,75,000
B’s Capital = Rs. 4,00,000 × 5/16 = Rs. 1,25,000

Points for Students:-
When the new partner does not bring his share of goodwill/premium in Cash: Accounting Standard (AS) 26 (Intangible Assets) Specifies that goodwill can be recorded in the books only when some consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. It means that only purchased goodwill can be recorded in the books. At the time of admission, retirement or death of a partner or in case of change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners, goodwill account cannot be raised in the books of the firm because it will be non-purchased goodwill and no consideration in money or money’s worth has been for it.

When the new partner does not bring his share of goodwill/premium in Cash: Accounting Standard (AS) 26 (Intangible Assets) Specifies that goodwill can be recorded in the books only when some consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. It means that only purchased goodwill can be recorded in the books. At the time of admission, retirement or death of a partner or in case of change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners, goodwill account cannot be raised in the books of the firm because it will be non-purchased goodwill and no consideration in money or money’s worth has been for it.

Question 97.

Solution 97
J’s old Share = 2/5
J’s surrenders 1/5th of 2/5 in favour of L = 1/5×2/5=2/25

K’s old Share = 3/5
K’s surrenders 1/3rd of 3/5 in favour of L = 1/3×3/5=1/5

Computation of New Ratio:-
J’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2/5-2/25=(10 – 2)/25=8/25
K’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/5-1/5=(3 – 1)/5=2/25
L’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2/25+1/5=(2+5)/25=7/25
The new ratio of J, K and L = 8/25:2/5:7/25

The new ratio of J, K and L = (8 ∶ 10 ∶ 7)/25
New ratio of J, K and L = 8 : 10 : 7

Points for Students:-
New partner’s current account is debited from his share of goodwill and the old partner’s capital accounts are credited in their sacrificing ratio. Following Journal entry is passed for this purpose:
New Partner’s Current A/c Dr. (From his share of goodwill)
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c (In sacrificing ratio)

Question 98.

Solution 98
R’s surrenders 1/4th of 5/8 in favour of T = 1/4×5/8=5/32

S’s surrenders 2/5th of 3/8 in favour of T = 2/5×3/8=3/20

Sacrificing Ratio = 5/32:3/20

Sacrificing Ratio = (25 ∶ 24)/160
Sacrificing Ratio = 25 : 24

Computation of New Ratio:-
R’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 5/8-5/32=(20 – 5)/32=15/32
S’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/8-3/20=(15 – 6)/40=9/40
T’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 5/32+3/20=(25+24)/160=49/160

The new ratio of R, S and T = 15/32:9/40:49/160
The new ratio of R, S and T = (75 ∶ 36 ∶ 49)/25
New ratio of R, S and T = 75 ∶ 36 ∶ 49

Points for Students:-
Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners.

Question 99.

Solution 99
C is given 1/4th share which he acquires from A and B in the ratio of 3:1.
C acquires from A = 5/8 of 1/4 = 3/16
C acquires from B = 1/4 of 1/4 = 1/16

Computation of New Ratio:-
A’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 5/8-3/16=(10 – 3)/16=7/16

B’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/8-1/16=(6 – 1)/16=5/16
C’s New Profit Sharing Ratio = 1/4
The new ratio of A, B and C = 7/16:5/16:1/4

The new ratio of A, B and C = (7 ∶ 5 ∶ 4)/16
New ratio of A, B and C = 7 ∶ 5 ∶ 4

Points for Students:-

Question 105.

Solution 105

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Average Profit = (Rs. 30,000 – Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 20,000 + Rs. 38,000)/4
Average Profit = (Rs. 80,000)/4
Average Profit = Rs. 20,000
Goodwill = Rs. 20,000 × 3/2 = Rs. 30,000
Z’s Share = Rs. 30,000 × 1/3 = Rs. 10,000

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
X’s Sacrificing Ratio = 6/15-1/3=(6-5)/15=1/15

Y’s Sacrificing Ratio = 9/15-1/3=(9-5)/15=4/15
Sacrificing Ratio = 1 : 4

Points for Students:-
Whenever there is an admission of a new partner, old partners have to surrender some of their old shares in favour of the new partner. The ratio in which they surrender their profits is called sacrifice ratio. Goodwill is paid to the old partners in their sacrifice ratio because the goodwill is the amount of compensation to be paid by the new partner to the old partners for acquiring the share of profits which they have surrendered in favour of the new partner.
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Question 116.

Solution 116

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Points for Students:-
Concept Hidden Goodwill: Sometimes, the value of goodwill is hidden in the question. In such cases, the amount of goodwill is calculated on the basis of total capital of the firm and the profit sharing ratio of the partners. For example, A and B partners with capitals of Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 30,000 respectively. They admit C as a partner with 1/4 th share. C is to contribute Rs. 34,000 as his capital. In such a case, the total capital of the firm, based on C’s share ought to be Rs. 34,000 ×4/1 = 1,36,000. But the combined capital of A, B and C becomes only Rs.1,04,000 (Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 34,000). As such the value of total goodwill of the firm should be taken as Rs. 1,36,000 – Rs. 1,04,000 = Rs.32,000.

What do you mean by the admission of a partner?

Admission of a partner depicts the inclusion of a new individual in a firm. The new person joining the firm is titled the incoming partner. Generally, on the admission of a new partner, there are certain modifications in the profit-sharing ratios. The firm’s profit holding ratio usually reconstitutes the addition of a new partner to it.

Write the conditions when a firm adds a new partner.

Here are the conditions when a firm adds a new partner –
● Firms usually include fresh partners when they are in scaling mode and require capital for extending their business.
● When a new partner is important to deal with a specific department of business, turning as an asset for the firm.
● When the admission of the new member adds a touch of reputation and goodwill to the company.

What are the adjustments made within a firm in case of a new admission?

Here are the most prominent adjustments made during the addition of a new member in the firm –
● Modification in the profit-sharing ratio and the calculation of the sacrificing ratio.
● Revaluation of the liabilities and assets of the firm.
● Modification in the firm’s capital with the entry of a new member in the business.

What do you mean by a new profit-sharing ratio?

On admission of a new member, the firm’s profit-sharing mechanism restructures. A new profit-sharing ratio can be defined as the ratio of profit sharing that both the existing member and the new partner of the firm decide to distribute the firm’s future profits.

When is the new profit-sharing ratio calculated?

Here are the cases when the new profit-sharing ratio of a business is calculated –
● In case a new partner enters the firm.
● At unfortunate death or Retirement of old partners of the firm.
● In case the existing partners decide to revise their profit-sharing ratio.
