Question 5. What is hidden goodwill? How is it adjusted on the admission of a partner?

Solution 5
Goodwill’s worth is hidden in the query. In such situations, the sum of goodwill is measured on the basis of the firm’s gross resources and the partners’ profit-sharing ratio.

Question 6. Why is Revaluation Account prepared? Draw an imaginary Revaluation Account.

Solution 6
When a new partner is added, assets are revalued and liabilities are reassessed such that the benefit or damage arising from any revaluation up the date of entry of a new partner will be ascertained and balanced in their old profit-sharing ratio in the Capital Account of the old partners and the new partner does not gain or lose due adjustments in the value of assets or sum of assets

Question 7. If new partner brings in proportionate Capital, how can it be calculated? Give a suitable example.

Solution 7
The new partner’s Capital is often not provided in the issue. He will be expected to put in Capital proportionately. In both s, the Capital of the new partner would be determined on the basis of the old partner’s Capital left after all the changes and revaluations.

Question 8. Disha and Gayatri were partners with Capital contribution of Rs. 30,00,000 and Rs. 20,00,000. They admitted Puja in partnership but did not enter in partnership deed. At the end of the accounting year, Puja insisted that the profit should be shared equally and convinced both Disha and Gyatri. Expalin how Puja would have convinced Disha and Gaytri.

Solution 8
Puja may have made the statement that Disha and Gayatri were persuaded by the absence of the Partnership Deed Partnership Act 1932, which prevailed.

Question 9. Mohan and Naresh was partners sharing profit in the ratio of 2:1. On 1st April, 2018 they admitted Om in partnership of 1/5th share in profits. On that date, the Balance Sheet showed General Reserve of Rs. 1,50,000. Om was of the opinion that if should be credited all partner’s Capital accounts in their profit sharing ratio. Mohan and Naresh convinced Om that the General Reserve should be credited only their Capital accounts. Explain what argument must have been put forward Mohan and Naresh that convinced Om.

Solution 9
Mohan and Naresh may have argued that, while Om was not a collaborator, the General Reserve came into being. In their old profit-sharing mix, it should then be shared only by Mohan and Naresh.

Question 10. Arun and Bimal were partners sharing profit in the ration of 2:1. They admitted Dushyant in partnership for 1/4th share. On that date, Balance Sheet of the firm showed Rs. 25,000 as Workmen Compensation Reserve against which there was a liability of Rs. 1,00,000. Arun and Bimal were of the opinion that the excess liability of Rs. 75,000 should be borne all the partners, including incoming partner in their new profit sharing ratio whereas Dushyant was of the opinion that it should be borne old partners in their old profit sharing ratio. Dushyant was able convince both Arun and Bimal. Explain how Dushaynt would have convinced Arun and Bimal.

Solution 10
Dushaynt may have argued that the time where he was not a partner was part of the responsibility. Therefore, in their old benefit sharing ratio, old partners should be born.

Numerical Question
Question 1.
(A)

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. C is admitted the partnership for 1/4th share of future profits. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
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)

A and B were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 21 : 9. C was admitted on 9/21 share in the profits. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of the partners.
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)

P and Q are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3. They admit R as partner for a 1/7th share in profits which he acquires equally from P and Q. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of the partners.
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)

R and S share profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted T as partner for 1/8th share which will be borne R and S equally. Find out the new profit sharing ratio.
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)

P, Q and R were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. They admitted S as a new partner for 1/8th share in the profits which he acquired /16th from P and 1/16th from Q. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of P, Q, R and S.
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. A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits in 3:2. On 1-4-2018 they admitted C as a new partner for 1/4th share. On 1-4-2019 D was admitted as a new partner for 1/5th share which he acquired equally from A, B and C. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
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. A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in 1:2:3 ratio. They admitted D as a new partner for 1/6 th share. D acquired his share 1/24 from A, 1/24 from B and 1/12 from C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
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. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admit C in partnership giving him 1/2 share in profits which he acquires from A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1. Calculate the new profit ratio.
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

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 3/5-3/8=(24 – 15)/40= 9/40

B’s New Share = 2/5-1/8=(16 – 5)/40= 11/40
C’s New Share = 1/2

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 9/40 ∶ 11/40 ∶ 1/2
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (9 ∶ 11 ∶ 20)/40
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 9 ∶ 11 ∶ 20

Points for Students:-

New Partner’s Current A/c Dr. (From his share of goodwill)
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c (In sacrificing ratio)
(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 8 (new). A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted for 1/5th share of profit out of which half share of profit out of which half share was gifted by A and the remaining share was taken by C equally from A and B. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 8 (new). Profit Sharing ratio of A and B = 3 : 2.
Share gifted by A = 1/5×1/2=1/10
Share acquired by C = 1/10×1/2=1/20
A’s Share = Old Share – Share Gifted – Share Acquired by C
= 3/5-1/10-1/20
= (12-2-1)/20
= 9/20
B’s Share = 2/5-1/20=(8-1)/20=7/20

Question 8.
(A)
A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2:1. C joins the firm. A surrenders 1/4th of his share and B 1/5th of his share in favour of C. Find the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 8
(A)

A is surrender = 1/4 , B is surrender = 1/5
A’s share = 1/4 of 2/3 = 2/12 = 1/6
B’s share = 1/5 of 1/3 = 1/15

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 2/3-1/6=(4 – 1)/6= 3/6

B’s New Share = 1/3-1/15=(5 – 1)/15= 4/15

New Profit Sharing Ratio = (15 ∶ 8 ∶ 7)/30
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 15∶8∶7

Question 8.
(B)

A and B share profits in the ratio of 3:2. They agreed admit C on the condition that A will sacrifice 3/20th of his share of profit in favour of C and B will sacrifice 1/20th of his profits in favour of C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 8
(B)

A is surrender = 3/20 , B is surrender = 1/20
A’s share = 3/20 of 3/5 = 9/100

B’s share = 1/20 of 2/5 = 2/100

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 3/5-9/100=(60 – 9)/100= 51/100
B’s New Share = 2/5-2/100=(40 – 2)/100= 38/100

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 51∶38∶11

Question 8.
(C)

X and Y are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 9: 6. A new partner Z is admitted. X surrenders 3/15th share of his profit in favour of Z and Y 6/15th of his share in favour of Z. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 8
(C)

X is surrender = 3/15 , Y is surrender = 6/15
X’s share = 3/15 of 9/15 = 27/225 = 3/25
Y’s share = 6/15 of 6/15 = 36/225 = 4/25

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
X’s New Share = 9/15-3/25=(45 – 9)/75= 36/75
Y’s New Share = 6/15-4/25=(30 – 12)/75= 18/75
Z’s New Share = 3/25+4/25=(3 + 4)/25=7/25

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 36/75 ∶ 18/75 ∶ 7/25
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (36 ∶ 18 ∶ 21)/75
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 36 ∶ 18 ∶ 21 or 12 : 6 : 7

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 9. A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in 4:3 : 3 ratio. They decided admit their manager D in partnership. A surrendered 1/4 of his share in favour of D; B surrendered 1/(5 ) of his share in favour of D and C surrendered 1/6 of his share in favour of D. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 9
A B C
Old Ratio 4/10 : 3/10 : 3/10
Surrender Share 1/4 1/5 1/6
A’s share = 4/10 of 1/4 = 4/40 = 1/10
B’s share = 3/10 of 1/5 = 3/50 = 3/50
C’s share = 3/10 of 1/6 = 1/20

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 4/10-1/10=(4 – 1)/10= 3/10
B’s New Share = 3/10-3/50=(15 – 3)/50= 12/50
C’s New Share = 3/10-1/20=(6 – 1)/20=5/20
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. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit X and Y as new partners. A surrendered 1/3rd of his share in favour of X and B surrendered 1/4th of his share in favour of Y. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio A, B, X and Y.
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
B’s share = 2/5 of 1/4 = 2/20 = 1/10

Computation of New Profit sharing ratio:-
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Surrender Share
A’s New Share = 3/5-1/5=(3 – 1)/5= 2/5
B’s New Share = 2/5-1/10=(4 – 1)/10= 3/10
X’s New Share = 1/5
Y’s New Share = 1/10
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2/5 ∶ 3/10 ∶ 1/5:1/10
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. A and B share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. They admit C as a new partner for 1/3rd share the profits of the firm which he acquired from A and B in the ratio of 2:3. After some time, they admitted D as a new partner for 1/5th share in the profits which he acquired equally from A and C.
Calculate:

(i) New profit sharing ratio of A, B and C;
(ii) New profit sharing ratio of A, B, C and D.

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
D’s New Share = 1/5

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 11/30 ∶ 3/15 ∶ 7/30 ∶ 1/5
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. P and Q share profits in 3 : 2. On 1st April, 2016, they admit R and S with 1/4th and 1/5th share respectively. The profit of the firm for the year ended 31st March 2017 amounted Rs. 2,00,000. Prepare necessary journal entries for the distribution of profit.
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
S’s Share in Profit = Rs. 2,00,000 × 20/100 = Rs. 40,000

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 16.
(A)

A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted in partnership. A sacrifices 1/3 of his share and B 1/10 from his share in favour of C. Determine the sacrificing ratio and the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 16
(A)

A’s Surrendered = 1/3 of 3/5 = 1/5
B’s Surrendered = 1/10

Sacrificing Ratio = 1/5 ∶ 1/10
Sacrificing Ratio = (2 ∶ 1)/10
Sacrificing Ratio = 2 : 1

Computation of New Ratio :-
A’s New Share = 3/5-1/5=(3 – 1)/5= 2/5
B’s New Share = 2/5-1/10=(4 – 1)/10= 3/10
C’s New Share = 1/5+1/10=(2 + 1)/10= 3/10

New Ratio of A, B and C = 2/5:3/10:3/10
New Ratio of A, B and C = (4 ∶ 3 ∶ 3)/10
New Ratio of A, B and C = 4 : 3 : 3.

(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 16.

Solution 16
(B)

A’s sacrifices 1/2 of 5/8 = 5/16
B’s sacrifices = 1/4
Computation of New Ratio :-
A’s New Share = 5/8-5/16=(10 – 5)/16= 5/16
B’s New Share = 3/8-1/4=(3 – 2)/8= 1/8

New share of A, B, C and D = 5/16:1/8:5/16:1/4
New Ratio of A, B and C = (5 ∶ 2 ∶ 5 ∶4)/16
New Ratio of A, B and C = 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 5 ∶4.

(B) Points for Students:-
Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio:-
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

E joins the partnership for 20% share A, B, C, and D would in future share profits among themselves as 3/10 : 4/10: 2/10 and 1/10 . Calculate the new profit sharing ratio after E’s admission.
[Ans. (i) New Ratio 2:2: 1; Sacrificing Ratio 6: 1.
(ii) New Ratio 6 : 8 : 4 : 2 : 5]
Solution 17
(i) Computation of new profit sharing ratio:-
C’s Share = 1/5
Remaining Share = 1-1/5 = 4/5

A’s New Share = 1/2 of 4/5 = 4/10 = 2/5

B’s New Share = 1/2 of 4/5 = 4/10 = 2/5

C’s New Share = 1/5

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2/5 ∶ 2/5 ∶1/5
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2 : 2 : 1.

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 4/7-2/5=(20 – 14)/35= 6/35

B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/7-2/5=(15 – 14)/35= 1/35
Sacrificing Ratio = 6 : 1.

(ii) Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
E’s Share = 20% or 20/100 or 1/5
Remaining Share = 1-1/5=4/5
Profit shared A, B, C and D in the ratio of 3/10:4/10:2/10:1/10

A’s New Ratio = 4/5 of 3/10 = 12/50

B’s New Ratio = 4/5 of 4/10 = 16/50

C’s New Ratio = 4/5 of 2/10 = 8/50

D’s New Ratio = 4/5 of 1/10 = 4/50

E’s New Ratio = 1/5
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 12/50:16/50:8/50:4/50:1/5
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (12 ∶ 16 ∶ 8 ∶ 4 ∶ 5)/50
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 12 ∶ 16 ∶ 8 ∶ 4 ∶ 5

Question 18. A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. They admit C and decide that the profit-sharing ratio between B and C shall be same as Existing between A and B. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio and the sacrificing ratio.

Solution 18
Old Ratio of A and B = 3:1
New Ratio of B and C = 3:1.
C’s share = 1/4
Remaining Share = 1-1/4 = 3/4

A’s New Ratio = 3/4× 3/4=9/16

B’s New Ratio = 3/4× 1/4=3/16

C’s New Ratio = 1/4
New Ratio of A, B and C = 9 : 3 : 1.

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/4-3/16=(12 – 9)/16= 3/16
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/4-3/16=(4 – 3)/16= 1/16
Sacrificing Ratio = 3 : 1.

Points for Students:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Question 19. A, B and C are partners sharing in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2. They admit D for, 1/9th share. It is agreed that A would retain his original share. Calculate the new and sacrificing ratios.

Solution 19
Old Ratio of A, B and C = 4 : 3 : 2
D’s Share = 1/9
Remaining Share = 1-1/9=8/9

A’s New share = 4/9

Remaining Share = 8/9-4/9=4/9

B’s New Share = 3/5 of 4/9 = 12/45

C’s New Share = 2/5 of 4/9 = 8/45

The New Ratio A, B, C and D = 4/9:12/45:8/45:1/9
The New Ratio A, B, C and D = (20 ∶ 12 ∶ 8 ∶ 5)/45
The New Ratio A, B, C and D = 20 ∶ 12 ∶ 8 ∶ 5

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
B’s Sacrificing = 3/9-12/45=(15 – 12)/45=3/45

C’s Sacrificing = 2/9-8/45=(10 – 8)/45=2/45

Sacrificing Ratio among B and C = 3:2

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 20. P, Q and R are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. S is admitted as a new partner for 1/5th share. P sacrifices 1/10th from his share in favour of S and remaining sacrifice was made Q and R in the ratio of 2 : 1. Calculate sacrificing ratio and new profit sharing ratio.

Solution 20
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
S’s Share = 1/5
P surrender for S = 1/10
Remaining Share of S = 1/5-1/10=(2 – 1)/10= 1/10
1/10 share of sacrificed Q and R in the ratio of 2:1
Q’s Sacrifice = 1/10 of 2/3 = 2/30

R’s Sacrifice = 1/10 of 1/3 = 1/30

Sacrifice Ratio of P, Q and R = 1/10:2/30:1/30
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.

Question 21. L, M and N are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. They admit O in partnership. O brings in cash Rs. 4,50,000 as Capital and Rs. 1,50,000 as goodwill for 1/5th share of profits. Pass journal entries and find out new profit sharing ratios when: (a) Goodwill is retained in the firm; (b) goodwill is withdrawn old partners.
Solution 21
(a) Goodwill is retained in the firm:-

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
O’s Share = 1/5
Remaining Share = 1-1/5=4/5

L’s New Ratio = 3/6 of 4/5 = 12/30=2/5

M’s New Ratio = 2/6 of 4/5 = 8/30=4/15

N’s New Ratio = 1/6 of 4/5 = 4/30=2/15

O’s New Ratio = 1/5

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 2/5:4/15:2/15:1/5
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (6 ∶ 4 ∶ 2 ∶ 3)/15
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 6 ∶ 4 ∶ 2 ∶ 3

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)
(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 22. P and Q are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1. They admit R in from partnership for 4/9th share in profit which he acquires equally from P and Q. R brings in cash Rs. 2,50,000 as a Capital and Rs. 1,80,000 as goodwill. Pass journal entries and find new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 22
(a) Goodwill is retained in the firm:-

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
R’s Share = 4/9 which he acquires from P and Q.
P’s surrender = 1/2 of 4/9 = 2/9
Q’s surrender = 1/2 of 4/9 = 2/9

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
P’s New Ratio = 2/3 – 2/9 = (6 – 2)/9=4/9
Q’s New Ratio = 1/3 – 2/9 = (3 – 2)/9=1/9
R’s New Ratio = 4/9

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4/9:1/9:4/9
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (4 ∶ 1∶ 4)/9
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4 ∶ 1 ∶ 4

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)
(b) Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr.
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c

Question 23. X and Y are partners Sharing profits in the ratio of 4:3. Z joins partnership for 2/7th share in the profits of which he acquires 3/4th from X and 1/4th from Y. Z brings in Rs. 3,00,000 for his Capital and Rs.1,20,000 for goodwill. Half of the amount of goodwill is withdrawn the old partners. Pass necessary Journal entries and find out new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 23

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Z’s Share = 4/9 which he acquires 3/4th from P and 1/4th from Q.

X’s surrender = 3/4 of 2/7 = 3/14

Y’s surrender = 1/4 of 2/7 = 1/14

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
X’s New Ratio = 4/7 – 3/14 = (8 – 3)/14=5/14

Y’s New Ratio = 3/7 – 1/14 = (6 – 1)/14=5/14
Z’s New Ratio = 2/7

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 5/14:5/14:2/7
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (5 ∶ 5 ∶ 4)/14
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 5 ∶ 5 ∶ 4

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 24. K and Y were partners in a firm sharing profits in 3 : 2 ratio. They admitted Z as a new partner for 1/3rd share in the profits of the firm. Z acquired his share from K and Y in 2:3 ratio. Z brought Rs. 80,000 for his Capital and Rs. 30,000 for his 1/3rd share as premium. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of K, Y and Z and pass necessary journal entries for the above transactions in the books of the firm.

K’s surrender = 2/5 of 1/3 = 2/15

Z’s surrender = 3/5 of 1/3 = 3/15

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
K’s New Ratio = 3/5 – 2/15 = (9 – 2)/15=7/15
Y’s New Ratio = 2/5 – 3/15 = (6 – 3)/15=3/15
Z’s New Ratio = 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

Points for Students:-
If there is no claim against Workmen Compensation Reserve: In such a case, the entire amount of Workmen Compensation Reserve is credited to the Capital Accounts of old partners in their old profit sharing ratio:
The Journal entry passed is:
Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr.
To Partner’s Capital A/c
(Workmen Compensation Reserve credited to old partner’s Capital Account in their old profit sharing ratio)

Question 25. Anju and Manju are partners, sharing profits and losses in the proportion of 7:5. They agreed admit Meenu, their manager, in partnership, who is get one sixth share in the business. Meenu brings in Rs. 2,00,000 for her Capital and Rs. 96,000 for 1/6th share of goodwill which she acquires 1/24th from Anju and 1/8th from Manju. The profit for the first year of the new partnership amount Rs. 4,80,000.
Make the necessary Journal entries in connection with Meenu’s admission and divide the profit between the partners.
Solution 25

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
Anju’s New Ratio = 7/12 – 1/24 = (14 – 1)/24=13/24
Manju’s New Ratio = 5/12 – 1/8 = (10 – 3)/24=7/24
Meenu’s New Ratio = 1/6

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 13/24:7/24:1/6
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (13 ∶ 7 ∶ 1)/24
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 13∶ 7 ∶ 4

Computation of Profit:-

Anju’s Profit = Rs. 4,80,000 × 13/24 = Rs. 2,60,000
Manju’s Profit = Rs. 4,80,000 × 7/24 = Rs. 1,40,000
Meenu’s Profit = Rs. 4,80,000 × 4/24 = Rs. 80,000

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:
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

Q26. A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. They admit D in partnership with 1/4th share which he acquires from A and B in the ratio of 2 : 1. On D’s admission the goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 6,00,000. However. D is unable bring his share of goodwill in cash.
Pass necessary journal entry and also calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 26

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
A’s surrender = 1/4 of 2/(3 ) = 2/12
B’s surrender = 1/4 of 1/3 = 1/12

Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
A’s New Ratio = 3/6 – 2/12 = (6 – 2)/12=4/12
B’s New Ratio = 2/5 – 3/15 = (4 – 1)/12=3/12
C’s New Ratio = 1/6
D’s New Ratio = 1/4

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4/12:3/12:1/6:1/4
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (4 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 3)/12|
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 4∶ 3 ∶ 2∶3
Value of Goodwill = Rs. 6,00,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 1,50,000
A’s Share = Rs. 1,50,000 × 2/3 = Rs. 1,00,000
B’s Share = Rs. 1,50,000 × 1/3 = Rs. 50,000

Points for Students:-

(iii) 2:3 (iv) 7:1]
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
Z’s New Ratio = 1/4

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. A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. They admitted D as a new partner, who brings Rs. 5,00,000 as Capital and Rs. 2,10,000 as his share of goodwill in cash. A surrendered 1/5th of his share, B surrendered 1/6th of his share and C surrendered 1/8th of his share in favourof D.
Find out sacrifice ratio and Pass necessary journal entries for the above.
[Ans. Sacrificing Ratio 4:2:1]
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.

Question 29. Partners A, B and C share the profit of a business in the ratio of 3: 2: 1 respectively. For one-sixth share they admit D who brings in Rs. 2,00,000 including Rs.60,000 for his share of goodwill. Show the journal entries if A, B, C and D decide share the profits respectively in the ratio of (a) 15:10:5:6; (b) 5:3:2:2and (c) 2:2:1:1. Assume that the entire cash brought in D remains in the business. Give Journal entries.
Solution 29

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratios:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
(a)
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/6-15/36=(18-15)/36=3/36
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/6-10/36=(12-10)/36=2/36
C’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/6-5/36=(6 – 5)/36=1/36
Sacrificing Ratio of A,B and C = 3/36:2/36:1/36
Sacrificing Ratio of A,B and C = 3∶2∶1

(b)
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/6-5/12=(6 – 5)/12=1/12
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/6-3/12=(4 – 3)/36=1/12
C’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/6-2/12=(2 – 2)/12=0
Sacrificing Ratio of A,B and C = 1/12:1/12
Sacrificing Ratio of A,B and C = 1∶1

(c)
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/6-2/6=(3 – 2)/6=1/6
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/6-2/6=(2 – 2)/6=0
C’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/6-1/6=(1 – 1)/6=0
A alone has sacrificed.

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)
(b) Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr.
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium transferred to old partner’s capital accounts in sacrificing ratio)

Question 30. X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit Z in partnership, Z paying a premium of Rs.1,00,000 for 1/4 share of the profits while X and Y as between themselves sharing profits and losses equally. Give journal entries.

Solution 30

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-
Z’s Share = 1/4
Remaining Share = 1-1/4= 3/4

X’s New Profit Ratio = 3/4 of 1/2 = 3/8

Y’s New Profit Ratio = 3/4 of 1/2 = 3/8

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
X’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/5 – 3/8 = (24 -15)/40 = 9/40

Y’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/5 – 3/8 = (16 -15)/40 = 1/40

Sacrificing Ratio of X and Y is 9:1.

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.

Question 31. A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. They admit D for 1/4th share in the profits and he brought in Rs. 1,50,000 as his share of goodwill which was credited the Capital Accounts of B and C respectively with Rs. 1,25,000 and Rs. 25,000. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.

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. X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 1. They agree admit Z in partnership who gets 1/3rd share in the profits. Z brings in Rs. 50,000 for his Capital and the necessary amount for goodwill in cash. Goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 36,000. X, Y and Z agree share future profits equally. The amount of goodwill is withdrawn from the business. Pass Journal entries.
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. A and B are partners sharing profit and losses as 2:1. On 1st April, 2018 they admit C as a partner for 1/4th share who pays Rs.4,50,000 as goodwill privately. On 1st April, 2019, they take D as a partner for 3/5th share who brings Rs. 4,00,000 as goodwill, out of which half is withdrawn the existing partners. On 1st April,2020, E is admitted as a partner for 1/6th share who bring Rs. 5,00,000 as goodwill which is retained in the business.
Journalise the above transactions in the books of the firm.
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. P and Q are partners sharing profits and losses as 2:3. R and S are admitted and profit sharing ratio becomes 3:4:3:2. Goodwill is valued at Rs. 3,00,000, R brings required goodwill and Rs. 2,00,000 cash for Capital. S brings in Rs.1,00,000 cash and Mor Vehicle for Rs. 80,000 as as his Capital in addition the required amount of goodwill in cash. Show the necessary journal entries.
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. Asha and Aditi are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2.
They admit Raghav as a partner for 1/4th share in the profits of the firm. Raghav brings Rs. 6,00,000 as his Capital and his share of goodwill in cash. Goodwill of the firm is be valued at two years’ purchase of average profits of the last four years.
The profits of the firm during the last four years are given below :

YearProfit(Rs.)
2013-143,50,000
2014-154,75,000
2015-166,70,000
2016-177,45,000

The following additional information is given :
(i) cover management cost an annual charge of Rs. 56,250 should be made for the purpose of valuation of goodwill.
(ii) The closing Stock for the year ended 31.3.2017 was overvalued Rs. 15,000.
Pass necessary journal entries on Raghav’s admission showing the working notes clearly.

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. Then the Capital of each partner is ascertained by dividing the total Capital according to his profit sharing ratio.

Question 36. Ram and Rahim are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. On April 1, 2016 they admit Raj as a new partner for 3/13th share in the profits. The new ratio will be 5:5: 3. Raj contributed the following assets wards his Capital and or his share of goodwill : Land Rs.2,50,000; Plant & Machinery Rs. 1,50,000; Stock Rs.80,000 and Debtors Rs. 70,000. On the date of admission of Raj, the goodwill of the firm was valued at Rs. 5,20,000. Record necessary journal entries in the book if the firm.
Solution 36

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
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

Question 37.

Question 38. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in 3 : 2. They admit C in partnership for 1/5th share in the profits. C pays in cash Rs. 40,000 for his Capital. Goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 25,000 but C is unable bring his share of goodwill in cash. Pass the necessary journal entries.
Solution 38

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. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. On 1st April, 2018 they admit C as a new partner for 1/4th share. C acquires 1/5th of his share from A.
Goodwill on C’s admission is be valued on the basis of Capitalisation of average profits of the last five years. Profits were :
Year ended
31st March, 2014 Profit Rs. 50,000
31st March, 2015 Profit Rs. 1,20,000 (including gain of Rs. 40,000 from sale of fixed assets)
31st March, 2016 Loss Rs. 60,000 (after charging Loss Fire Rs. 50,000)
31st March, 2017 Loss Rs. 1,00,000 (after charging voluntary retirement compensation paid Rs. 1,50,000)
31st March, 2018 Profit Rs. 1,90,000
On 1st April, 2018, the firm had assets of Rs. 7,00,000 and external liabilities of Rs. 2,20,000.
The normal rate of return on Capital is 12%.
C brings in Rs. 1,25,000 for his Capital but is unable bring his share of goodwill in cash.
(i) You are required calculate C’s share of goodwill,
(ii) Pass necessary journal entries, and
(iii) Calculate new profit sharing ratios.

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). A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. On 1st April, 2018 they admit C as a new partner for 1/4th share. C acquires 1/5th of his share from A.
Goodwill on C’s admission is to be valued on the basis of capitalisation of average profits of the last five years. Profit were:
Year ended

31st March, 2014Profit Rs. 50,000
31st March, 2015Profit Rs. 1,20,000 (including gain of Rs. 40,000 from sale of fixed assets)
31st March, 2016Loss Rs. 60,000 (after charging Loss by firm Rs. 50,000)
31st March, 2017Loss Rs. 1,00,000 (after charging voluntary retirement compensation paid Rs. 1,50,000)
31st March, 2018Profit Rs. 1,90,000

On 1st April, 2018, the firm has assets of Rs. 7,00,000 and external liabilities of Rs. 2,20,000.
The normal rate of return on capital is 12%.
C bring in Rs. 1,25,000 for his capital but is unable to bring his share of goodwill in cash.
(i) You are required to calculate C’s share of goodwill,
(ii) Pass necessary journal entries, and
(iii) Calculate new profit sharing ratios.
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

Question 40. P, Q and R share profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. S was admitted in partnership. S brings in Rs. 30,000 as his Capital. S is entitled for 1/5th share in profits which he acquires equally from P, Q and R. Goodwill of the firm is be valued at three years’ purchase of last four years’ average profits. The profits of the last four years’ are Rs. 32,000, Rs. 38,000, Rs. 35,000 and Rs. 31,000 respectively. S cannot bring goodwill in cash. Goodwill already appears in the books at Rs. 50,000. Give Journal entries.
Solution 40

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.

Question 41. A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit C in partnership for 1/3rd share of profits. C brings Capital of Rs. 2,00,000. goodwill is valued at Rs. 1,50,000. Show what entries shall be made in the following s:
(i) Goodwill does not appear in the books;
(ii) Goodwill appears in the books at Rs. 90,000;
(iii) Goodwill appears in the books at Rs. 1,80,000.
Solution 41

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

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)
(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. X and Y are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3: 2. Goodwill appears in their balance sheet at Rs. 60,000. Z is admitted as a partner for 1/4th share in the profits. The Total goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 2,00,000.
Pass journal entries if :

  1. Z cannot bring in cash his share of goodwill.
  2. Z brings in cash his share of goodwill.

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. X, Y and Z were partners sharing profits and loss, as X one half; Y one-third; and Z one-sixth. As from 1st April, 2019, they agreed admit A in partnership for one-sixth share in profits and losses, which is acquired equally from X and Y, and is bring in Rs. 50,000 for his Capital and Rs. 20,000 as premium for goodwill. A paid in his Capital money but in respect of premium for goodwill, he could bring in only Rs.15,000.
You are required :
i) Give the Journal entries carry out the above arrangements, and
ii) Work out the new profit-sharing ratio of the partners.
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.

Question 44. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admit C in the firm for 3/7th profits (which he takes 2/7th from A and 1/7th from B) and brings Rs. 6,00,000 as premium out of his share of Rs. 7,20,000. Goodwill account does not appear in the books of A and B.
Solution 44

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Points for Students:-
Following two entries are passed for goodwill:-
(a) Cash/Bank A/c Dr.
To Premium for Goodwill A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium brought in cash by new partner)
(b) Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr.
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium transferred to old partner’s capital accounts in sacrificing ratio)

Question 45. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:1. C is admitted as a partner with 2/9th share; A and B will in future get 4/9th and 3/9th share of profits. C pays Rs. 2,00,000 for goodwill. Pass the necessary journal entries.
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:
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 46. X and Y are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 1. Z is admitted as a partner for which he pays Rs. 30,000 for goodwill in cash. X,Y and Z decided share future profits in equal proportion. You are required pass journal entries give effect the above.
Solution 46

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
1) Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio-New Ratio
X’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/4-1/3=(9-4)/12=5/12(Sacrifice)
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. A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2:2:1. They admitted D for 1/6th share in the profits. The new profit sharing ratio will be 13: 8:4:5 respectively. D brought Rs. 5,00,000 for his Capital and Rs. 60,000 for his share of goodwill. Pass necessary entries.
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. A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 4: 1. They admitted C as a new partner on 1-3-2019 for 1/5th share. It was decided that A, B and C will share future profits in the ratio of 5: 3:2. C brought Rs. 20,000 in cash and machinery worth Rs. 60,000 for his share of profit as premium for goodwill. Showing
your Computations clearly, pass necessary journal entries in the books of the firm.
[Ans. A Gains 3/10, B Sacrifices 1/10 ,C Sacrifices 2/10. Entry will be:
Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr. 80,000
B’s Capital A/c Dr. 40,000
A’s Capital A/C 1,20,000]
Solution 48

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Old Ratio = 4 : 1
New Ratio = 5 : 3 : 2
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio-New Ratio
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 4/5-5/10=(8-5)/10=3/12(Sacrifice)
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/5-3/10=(2 – 3)/10=-1/10 (Gain)

2) Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 80,000 × 5/1 = Rs. 4,00,000
Y’s Gain = Rs. 4,00,000 × 1/10 = Rs. 40,000

Question 52. A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 7 : 3. On 1-3-2019, they admitted C as a new partner for 1/6th share in the profits of the firm. They fixed the new profit sharing ratio as 3:2 : 1. The P & L A/c on the date of admission showed a balance of Rs. 20,000 (Cr.). The firm also had a reserve of Rs. 1,50,000. C is bring Rs. 40,000 as premium for his share of goodwill.
Showing your Computations clearly, pass necessary journal entries record the above transactions.
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.

Question 53. X and Y are partners in a firm. On 1st April, 2020, they admitted Z as a partner and new profit sharing, ratio is agreed at 3:2:1. Their Balance Sheet disclosed ‘Workmen Compensation Reserve’ amounting Rs. 1,00,000 on this date. Show the Accounting treatment, if
(1) Claim for Workmen Compensation is estimated at Rs. 1,20,000.
(ii) Claim for Workmen Compensation is estimated at Rs. 90,000.
Solution 53

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

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:
Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr. 50,000
To Provision for Workmen Compensation Claim A/c 20,000

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.

Question 55. P and Q were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. On 1st April, 2020 they admitted R as a new partner and the new profit sharing ratio of P, Q and R is agreed at 3:1:1. R brought in Rs. 2,00,000 as his Capital and Rs. 60,000 as his share of premium for goodwill.
On the date of R’s admission, the Balance Sheet of P and Q showed a credit balance of Rs. 45,000 in Profit and Loss A/c and Workmen Compensation Reserve of Rs. 80,000. It was agreed that there was a claim of Workmen Compensation for Rs. 50,000. Pass necessary journal entries on R’s admission.

Cash Balance = Rs. 2,40,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 3,00,000 = Rs. 6,40,000

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.

Question 62. X and Y are partners. They admit Z as a, partner and new profit sharing ratio is agreed at 3:2:1. The assets and liabilities are revalued as:

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. Asin and Shreya are partners in a firm. They admit Ajay as a new partner with 1/5th share in the profits of the firm. Ajay brings Rs. 5,00,000 as his share of Capital. The value of the Total assets of the firm was Rs. 15,00,000 and outside liabilities were valued at Rs. 5,00,000 on that date. Give the necessary Journal entry record goodwill at the time of Ajay’s admission. Also show your workings.
Solution 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. A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2:1:1. Their respective Capitals were A Rs. 3,00,000, B Rs. 2,00,000 and C Rs. 1,80,000. On 1st April 2018 they admitted D as a new partner. D brought Rs. 2,00,000 for his Capital and necessary amount for his share of goodwill premium. The new profit sharing ratio between A, B, C and D will be 1:2:1:1.
Pass necessary journal entries for the above transactions in the books of the firm D’s admission.
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. Following figures have been extracted from the books of X and y who share profit and losses in the ratio of 7:3.
Rs.
X’s Capital 3,00,000
Y’s Capital 1,50,000
Reserve 1,60,000
Profit & Loss Account 40,000
Advertisement Expenditure 10,000
On the date, they admit Z for 1/5th share and the new profit sharing ratio is agreed at 3:1:1. Z bring in rs. 3,00,000 as his Capital. Pass journal entry for recording goodwill.
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

Solution 72

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Hidden Goodwill
Net Worth = Rs. 2,70,000 + Rs. 1,60,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 3,60,000(Z’s Capital)
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)
(b) Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr.
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium transferred to old partner’s capital accounts in sacrificing ratio)

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 74 (new). A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 6:3:1. Their respective capitals are A Rs. 5,00,000; B Rs. 4,00,000 and C Rs. 2,00,000. They decide to admit D into partnership and the new profit sharing ratio is agreed at 3:3:3:1.
D bring Rs. 1,50,000 as his capital and his share of goodwill in cash. At the time of D’s admission:
(a) The firm had a workmen compensation reserve of Rs. 1,00,000 against which there was a claim of Rs. 1,20,000.
(b) Advertisement Suspense A/c (Dr.) balance appeared in their books at Rs. 30,000.
(c) Contingency Reserve appeared at Rs. 60,000.

Solution 74 (new). Calculation of Hidden Goodwill of the firm:
Total Capital of the firm based on new partner’s capital: Rs. 1,50,000 × 10/1 = 15,00,000
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

(A)

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Capital:-
Capital of Nem and Khem = Rs. 87,740 + Rs. 65,160 = Rs. 1,52,900

Total Capital of the firm = Rs. 1,52,900 × 3/2 = Rs. 2,29,350
Prem’s Capital for 1/3rd share = Rs. 2,29,350 × 1/3 = Rs. 76,450

Computation of New Ratio:-
Prem’s Ratio = 1/3
Remaining Ratio = 1-1/3 = 2/3
Nem’s New Share = 3/5 of 2/3 = 6/15
Khem’s New Share = 2/5 of 2/3 = 4/15
Prem’s Ratio = 1/3

New Ratio = 6/15 ∶4/15:1/3
New Ratio = (6 ∶ 4 ∶ 5)/15

Rohan’s Capital for 1/3rd share = Rs. 6,97,500 × 1/3 = Rs. 2,32,500

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.

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

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.

Question 83. A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 3:2. D is admitted in the firm for 1/4 share in profits, which he gets as 1/8 from A and 1/8 from B. The Total Capital of the firm is agreed upon as Rs. 3,20,000 and D is bring in cash equivalent 1/4 of this amount as his Capital. The Capitals of other partners are also be adjusted in the ratio of their respective shares in profits. The Capitals of A, B and C after all adjustments are Rs. 1,00,000, Rs. 75,000 and Rs. 60,000 respectively. Calculate the new Capitals of A, B and C, and record the necessary journal entries.

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.

Question 84. A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1 with Capitals of Rs. 70,000; Rs. 60,000 and Rs. 40,000 respectively. D is admitted in the firm for 1/4th share in profits, which he acquires 1/8th from A and 1/8th from B. D brings in Rs. 60,000 as his Capital and Rs. 32,000 for his share of goodwill in cash. 3/4th of the amount of goodwill was withdrawn A and B. The Capitals of the partners in the new firm are be adjusted in profit sharing ratio on the basis of D’s Capital and excess or deficit capital be adjusted in cash.
Prepare necessary journal entries, Capital Accounts of the partner’s and Cash Account.
Solution 84

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

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 85. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. C was admitted for 1/4th share in profits. C acquires this share as 3/16from A and 1/4th of his share from B. C brings in Rs. 1,00,000 as his Capital.
At the time of C’s admission:
1. The firm’s goodwill was valued at Rs. 2,40,000.
2. General Reserve was Rs. 40,000.
3. Profit on revaluation of assets and liabilities was Rs. 24,000
Before any adjustments were made, the Capitals of A and B were Rs. 1,20,000 and Rs. 70,000 respectively.
It is decided that after C’s admission, the Capitals of A and B adjusted on the basis of C’s Capital, any excess or shortfall be adjusted withdrawing or bringing in Cash the old partners. You are required pass necessary journal entries on C’s admission.
Solution 85

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
A’s Ratio = 3/16
B’s Ratio = 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16
Sacrificing Ratio = 3 : 1

Computation of New Ratio:-
A’s Share = 5/8-3/16=(10 – 3)/16=7/16
B’s Share = 3/8-1/16=(6 – 1)/16=5/16
C’s Share = 1/4
New Ratio of A, B and C = 7/16 ∶ 5/16 ∶1/4

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

A’s Capital = Rs. 1,20,000 + Rs. 45,000 + Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 2,05,000
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.

Question 86. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. Following items appeared in their Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2018 :
A’s Capital Rs. 48,000; B’s Capital Rs. 30,000; Creditors Rs. 15,000; Bank balance Rs. 5,000; Debtors Rs. 20,000; Machinery Rs. 36,000; Stock Rs. 44,000.
They admit C in partnership on 1st April, 2018 with 1/6th share in profits, which he acquires equally from A and B. He brings in Rs. 20,000 as his Capital and Rs. 18,000 as goodwill in cash.
Following revaluations were made :
1. 5% provision be made for doubtful debts on Debtors and a provision of 2% be made on Debtors and Creditors for discount.
2. Rs. 1,000 are prepaid for insurance.
3. Rs. 5,000 are outstanding for salaries.
4. Rs. 1,480 for accrued income are be shown in the books.

Working Note:-
(1) Computation of New Ratios:-
C’s share is 1/6 acquires from A and B
A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/6×1/2=1/12

B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/12
A’s New Ratio = 2/3- 1/12=(8-1)/12=7/12
B’s New Ratio = 1/3- 1/12=(4-1)/12=3/12
C’s New Ratio = 1/6
New Ratio of A, B and C = 7/12:3/12:1/6
New Ratio of A, B and C = (7∶3 ∶1)/12
New Ratio of A, B and C = 7∶3 ∶1

(2) A’s Capital should be Rs. 70,000 whereas his existing capital is only Rs. 66,000. He will be bring Rs. 70,000 – Rs. 66,600 = Rs. 3,400

(3) B’s Capital should be Rs. 30,000 whereas his existing capital is only Rs. 43,800. He will be bring Rs. 43,800 – Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 13,800 will be refunded.

Points for Students:-
If the existing capital of any partner is in excess of his newly calculated capital, the excess amount is either paid off immediately or credited to his current account. Following entry is passed for this purpose:
(i) Old Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
To Bank A/c or Partner’s Current A/c
(ii) If the existing Capital of any partner is less than his newly calculated capital:

Solution 87

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Actual value of Stock = Rs. 40,000 × 100/125 = Rs. 32,000

Actual value of Building = Rs. 75,000 × 100/75 = Rs. 1,00,000

Computation of Goodwill:-
Total Profit = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 55,000 + Rs. 65,000 = Rs. 2,00,000

Average Profit = 2,00,000/4= Rs. 50,000

Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
Super Profit = Rs. 50,000 – Rs. 14,000 = Rs. 36,000

Goodwill = Rs. 36,000 × 5/2 = 90,000
Goodwill brought C in Cash = Rs. 90,000 × 2/9 = Rs. 20,000

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
A’s Sacrifice = 3/5-4/9=(27-20)/45=7/45
B’s Sacrifice = 2/5-3/9=(18-15)/45=3/45
Sacrifice Ratio = 7:3

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.

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 New Ratio:-
Share of Hanuman = 1/4

Remaining Share = 1- 1/4 = 3/4

Amit’s New Share = 3/4×1/2=3/8

Vidhya’s New Share = 3/4×1/2=3/8
New Profit = 3/8:3/8:1/4

New Profit = (3 ∶ 3 ∶ 2)/8

New Profit =3 ∶ 3 ∶ 2

Computation of New Capital of the Firm:-
Combined Capital = Rs. 1,17,050 + Rs. 32,050 = Rs. 1,49,100

Total Capital of the New Firm = Rs. 1,49,100 × 4/3 = Rs. 1,98,800

Amit’s Capital = Rs. 1,98,800 × 3/8 = Rs. 74,550
Vidhya’s Capital = Rs. 1,98,800 × 3/8 = Rs. 74,550
Chintan’s Capital = Rs. 1,98,800 × 1/4 = Rs. 49,700

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 91. Rekha, Sunita and Teena are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. Samiksha joins the firm. Rekha surrenders 1/4th of her share. Sunita surrenders 1/3th of her share and Teena 1/5th of her share in favour of Samiksha. Find the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 91
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Rekha surrenders for Samiksha =1/4 x 3/6 = 3/24
Sunita surrenders for Samiksha =1/3 x 2/6 = 2/24
Teena surrenders for Samiksha =1/4 x 1/6 = 1/30

Computation of New Ratio:-
Rekha’s New Ratio = 3/6-3/24=(12-3)/24=9/24
Sunita’s New Ratio = 2/6-2/18=(6 – 2)/18=4/18

Teena’s New Ratio = 1/6-1/30=(5 – 1)/30=4/30
Samiksha Ratio = 3/24+2/24+1/30= 97/360

New Ratio = 9/24 : 4/18: 4/30: 97/360
New Ratio = 135 : 80 : 48 : 97

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.

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

New Ratio of Amla, Kamla and Bimla = 11 : 4 : 5

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 95. Anita and Tina are partners sharing profits as 9 : 5. They agree admit Chetan their manager in partnership, who is get 1/8 share in the profits. He acquires this share as 1/12 from Anita and 1/24 from Tina. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution 95
Chetan is giving 1/8th share which he aquires 1/12 from Anita and 1/24 from Tina.
Anita’s New Share = 9/14-1/12=(54 – 7)/84= 47/84

Tina’s New Share = 5/14-1/24=(60 – 7)/168= 53/168
Chetan’s Share = 1/8

New Profit Sharing Ratio = 47/84:53/168:1/8
New Profit Sharing Ratio = (94 ∶ 53 ∶ 21)/168
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 94 ∶ 53 ∶ 21

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 96. Anil and Sunil are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 1. They admit Vijay in partnership with 1/3 share in profits which he acquires wholly from Anil. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.

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

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.

Question 97. J & K are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 3. L joins the firm. J surrenders 1/5th of his share and K, 1/3rd of his share in favour of L. Find the new profit sharing ratio.
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)
(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 98. R and S are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. T was admitted. R surrenders 1/4 of his share and S 2/5 of his share in favour of T. Calculate the sacrificing ratio and the new ratios.
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. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3. They admit C in partnership giving him 1/4 share in profits which he acquires from A and B in the ratio of 3 : 1. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.

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:-
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 100. Mohan and Sohan are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 9: 6. They admit Gopal with 1/8 share in the profits. The new profit sharing ratio between Mohan and Sohan is agreed be 4:3. Calculate the sacrificing ratio.

Question 102 (new). Kabir and Farid are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. On 1-4-2019 they admitted Manik into partnership for 1/4th share in the profits of the firm. Manik brought his share of goodwill premium in cash. Goodwill of the firm was valued on the basis of 2 year purchases of last three years average profits. The profits of last three years were:
2016-17        90,000
2017-18     1,30,000
2018-19        86,000
During the year 2018-19 there was a loss of Rs. 20,000 due to fire which was not accounted for while calculating the profit.
Calculate the value of goodwill and pass the necessary journal entries for the treatment of goodwill.
Solution 102 (new).

Working Note:-
Calculation of Average Profit:-
Average Profit = (90,000 + 1,30,000 + 86,000)/3
Average Profit = (90,000 + 1,30,000 + 86,000)/3
Average Profit = 3,06,000/3
Average Profit = Rs. 1,02,000

Calculation of Goodwill:-
Goodwill of the firm = Average Profits × Number of Years’ Purchase
Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 1,02,000 × 2
Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 2,04,000
Manik’s Goodwill = Rs. 2,04,000 × 1/4 = Rs. 51,000

Question 102. Kumar and Rao were partners in a firm sharing profits equally. They admitted Ghosh as a new partner for 1/4th share in profits.

Calculate new profit sharing ratio of Kumar, Rao and Ghosh and pass necessary journal entries for the above transactions in the books of the firm.

Solution 102

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Computation of New profit sharing ratio:-
Ghosh share from Kumar = 3/5 of 1/4 = 3/20

Ghosh share from Rao = 2/5 of 1/4 = 2/20
Kumar’s New Share = 1/2-3/20=(10-3)/20=7/20
Rao’s New Share = 1/2-3/20=(10 – 2)/20=8/20
Ghosh’s New Share = 1/4

New Share of Kumar, Rao and Ghose = 7/20:8/20:1/4
New Share of Kumar, Rao and Ghose = (7 ∶ 8 ∶ 5)/20
New Share of Kumar, Rao and Ghose = 7 : 8 : 5

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.

Question 105. X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 6: 9. They agree admit Z in partnership who brings Rs. 1,00,000 in cash for his Capital and goodwill. Goodwill is valued at 11/2 year’s purchase of the last 4 years average profits, which were Rs. 30,000; Rs. 8,000 (loss); Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 38,000 respectively. X, Y and Z will share future profits in equal proportion. Pass entries.

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:

Arun’s New Ratio = 3/5-1/6=(18-5)/30=13/30
Varun’s New Ratio = 2/5-1/12=(24-5)/60=19/60
Bhushan’s New Ratio = 1/6+1/12=(2+1)/12=3/12
New Ratio of Arun, Varun and Bhushan = 13/30:19/60:3/12 = (26 ∶ 19 ∶ 15)/60 = 26 ∶ 19 ∶ 15

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)
(b) Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr.
To Old Partner’s Capital A/c
(The amount of goodwill/premium transferred to old partner’s capital accounts in sacrificing ratio)

Question 107. L and M were partners in a firm sharing profits in 4:3 ratio. They admitted O as a new partner. The new profit sharing ratio of L, M and O will be 3:3:4. O Brought Rs. 2,00,000 for his Capital. The goodwill of the firm on O’s admission was Rs. 70,000. O brought his share of goodwill in cash. Calculate sacrificing ratio of L and M and pass necessary journal entries for the above transactions on O’S admission.
Solution 107

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
L’s Sacrifice Ratio = 4/7-3/10=(40-21)/70=19/70
M’s Sacrifice Ratio = 3/7-3/10=(30-21)/70=9/70
Sacrificing Ratio = 19 : 9

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 108. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the proportion of 3:2. They agree admit C in partnership who is get 1/5th share in the business. C bring in Rs. 1,00,000 for his Capital and Rs. 40,000 for 1/5th share of goodwill which he Acquires 3/20 from A and 1/20 from B. The profit for the first year of the new partnership amounted Rs. 2,00,000.
Make the necessary Journal entries in connection with C’s admission and apportion the profit between the partners.
Solution 108

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:-

A’s Ratio = 3/5-3/20=(12-3)/20=9/20
B’s Ratio = 3/5-1/20=(8-1)/20=7/20
C’s Ratio = 3/20+1/20=(3-1)/20=4/20
New Ratio of A, B and C = 9 : 7 : 4

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 109. P and Q share profits in the ratio of P, 5/8 and Q, 3/8. R is admitted as a partner who brings in Rs. 60,000 as his Capital and Rs. 20,000 for goodwill. The new profit-sharing ratio is agreed at 7:5: 4. Draft Journal entries.
Solution 109

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
P’s Sacrifice Ratio = 5/8-7/16=(10-7)/16=3/16
Q’s Sacrifice Ratio = 3/8-5/16=(6-5)/16=1/16
Sacrificing Ratio = 3 : 1

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.

Question 110. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit C in partnership, C pays a premium of Rs. 60,000 for 1/4th share of profit. The new ratio is 3 : 3:2. Goodwill account appears in the books at Rs. 2,00,000. Give the necessary Journal entries.
Solution 110

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-

P’s Sacrifice Ratio = 3/5-3/8=(24-15)/40=9/40
Q’s Sacrifice Ratio = 2/5-3/8=(16-15)/40=1/40
Sacrificing Ratio = 9 : 1

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)
(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 111. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. Goodwill appears in their books at 3,00,000. They admit C in partnership. C paying a premium of Rs. 1,00,000 for one-fourth share of the profits while A and B as between themselves sharing profits and losses as before.
Give Journal entries record the above arrangement in the books of the firm.
Solution 111

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Computation of New Ratio:-
C‘s share = 1/4th
Remaining Share = 1-1/4=3/4

A’s New Ratio = 3/5 × 3/4 = 9/20

B’s New Ratio = 2/5 × 3/4 = 6/20

C’s New Ratio = 1/4
New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 9/20: 6/20:1/4

New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = (9 ∶ 6 ∶ 5)/20 = 9 : 6 : 5

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 3/5-9/20= (12-9)/20=3/20
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 2/5-6/20= (8-6)/20=2/20
Sacrificing Ratio = 3 : 2

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 112. X and Y are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2:1. Their books showed goodwill at Rs. 50,000. Z is admitted with 1/5th share of profit which he acquires equally from X and Y. He brings Rs. Rs. 7,50,000 as his Capital but is not able bring in cash his share of goodwill Rs. 40,000. Give Journal entries.

Solution 112

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

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 113. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3. They admit C as a partner for 1/3rd share. His share of Goodwill is Rs. 32,000. Give journal entries in the following s :
(a) When the amount of goodwill is paid privately.
(b) When the goodwill is received in cash and retained in the business.
(c) When the goodwill is received in cash and withdrawn old partners.
(d) When C is unable bring the goodwill in cash.

Points for Students:-
If there is no claim against Workmen Compensation Reserve: In such a case, the entire amount of Workmen Compensation Reserve is credited to the Capital Accounts of old partners in their old profit sharing ratio:
The Journal entry passed is:
Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr.
To Partner’s Capital A/c
(Workmen Compensation Reserve credited to old partner’s Capital Account in their old profit sharing ratio)

Question 114. A and B are partners. They admit C as partner who pays Rs. 50,000 as Capital. The new ratio is be 4: 3:2. The goodwill of the firm is be based on 2 year’s purchase of the average of 3 year’s profits which were Rs. 30,000; Rs. 35,000 and Rs. 43,000. Show Journal entries, if :
(a) C pays for goodwill in cash; and
(b) He is unable bring cash for goodwill.
Solution 114

Class 12 Chapter 4 Admission of a partner

Working Note:-
Valuation of Goodwill:-
Average Profit = (Rs. 30,000 +Rs. 35,000 +Rs. 43,000)/3

Average Profit = (Rs. 1,08,000)/3 = Rs. 36,000

Computation of Sacrificing Ratio:-
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

A’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/2-4/9=(9-8)/18=1/18
B’s Sacrificing Ratio = 1/2-3/9=(9-6)/18=3/18
Sacrificing Ratio = 1 : 3

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:
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 115. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2:1. They admit C for 1/4th share in profits.

You are required pass a single journal entry in order give effect the above problem.
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.
