A, B and C shared profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 respectively. With effect from 1st April, 2019, they agreed to share profits equally. The goodwill of the firm was valued at Rs. 18,000. Pass necessary Journal entries when: (a) Goodwill is adjusted through Partners’ Capital Accounts; and (b) Goodwill is raised and written off.

Solution Gaining ratio or sacrificing ration will be calculated as:Gaining/Sacrificing Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio Therefore:                    For A =  1/3…

A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 4 : 1. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio, sacrificing ratio and gaining ratio in each of the following cases: Case 1. C acquires 1/5th share from A. Case 2. C acquires 1/5th share equally form A and B. Case 3. A, B and C will share future profits and losses equally. Case 4. C acquires 1/10th share of A and 1/2 share of B.

Solution Case 1: Old Ratio of A, B and C = 5: 4: 1A’s Sacrifice =1/5 to CC’s Gain = 1/5 Therefore,A’s New Share = 5/10 -1/5 = 5 –…
