Akshara Chopra answered
Calculation of sacrificing ratio of partners:
Old Ratio = 2:1
New Ratio of A and B = 1:2
New Ratio of A, B and C will be : 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
A’s new share = 1/3 × 4/5 = 4/15
B’s new share = 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15
C’s Share 1/5 OR 3/15
New Ratio 4 : 8: 3
Sacrificing Ratio = A : 2/3 – 4/15= 6/15
B : 1/3 – 8/15 = 3/15 Gain

  • c)
    It is 3:4:2
  • d)
    It is 4:2:3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Given:
- A and B are partners with profit-sharing ratio 1:2.
- C is admitted into the partnership and given 1/3rd share of future profits.

To find: New ratio of the partners.

Solution:
Let the total profit be x.
Then, profit shares of A and B will be (1/3)x and (2/3)x respectively.
Let the share of C be y.
Then, y = (1/3)x/3 = (1/9)x

Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio will be:

A : B : C
= (1/3)x : (2/3)x : y
= (1/3)x : (2/3)x : (1/9)x
= 3x : 6x : x
= 3 : 6 : 1
= 2 : 4 : 1 (by dividing each term by the lowest term)

Therefore, the new ratio of partners is 2:4:1, which is option (b).

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Poonam Reddy answered
The correct answer is B.
Land and building is an asset. Revaluation account considers only the changes in assets and liabilities. So since land and building was ₹90300 earlier and now it is to be brought up to ₹119700. This means the value of land and building is increased. So revaluation will consider only the increased amount and not the whole value of building . So increased amount is 119700-90300=₹29400

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Given, A and B are partners and C is admitted with 1/5th share. C brings Rs. 1,20,000 as his share towards capital.

Let's assume the total capital of the firm be x.

A and B have a share of 4/5th in the firm. So, their total capital will be 4/5 x.

C has a share of 1/5th in the firm. So, his capital will be 1/5 x.

Given, C brings Rs. 1,20,000 as his share towards capital.

Therefore, 1/5 x = Rs. 1,20,000.

Solving this equation, we get x = Rs. 6,00,000.

Hence, the total net worth of the firm is Rs. 6,00,000.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Rs. 6,00,000.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Given:
- Amit and Anil are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3 with capital of Rs. 2,50,000 and Rs. 2,00,000.
- Atul was admitted and would pay Rs. 50,000 as capital and Rs. 16,000 as goodwill for 1/5th profit.

To find: The balance of capital account after admission of Atul.

Solution:
1. Calculation of new profit sharing ratio:
- Amit and Anil's total capital = Rs. 2,50,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 = Rs. 4,50,000
- Atul's capital = Rs. 50,000
- Total capital after admission = Rs. 5,00,000
- Atul has been given 1/5th profit, which means he will get 1/6th share in the total profit (since there are now 3 partners).
- So, Atul's profit sharing ratio = 1/6 or 5:25
- Amit and Anil's profit sharing ratio = 5:3 or 25:15
- New profit sharing ratio = 25:15:5 or 5:3:1

2. Calculation of new capital:
- Amit's share in the total capital = 25/44 * Rs. 5,00,000 = Rs. 2,84,090.91
- Anil's share in the total capital = 15/44 * Rs. 5,00,000 = Rs. 1,65,909.09
- Atul's share in the total capital = Rs. 50,000
- Total capital after admission = Rs. 5,00,000
- So, the balance of capital account after admission of Atul is:
Amit: Rs. 2,84,090.91
Anil: Rs. 1,65,909.09
Atul: Rs. 50,000

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - 2,60,000 : 2,06,000 : 50,000.

C's share= 8/40
New profit-sharing ratio= 21:11:8

New Ratio of A, B and C will be : 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
A’s new share = 1/3 × 4/5 = 4/15
B’s new share = 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15
C’s Share 1/5 OR 3/15
New Ratio 4 : 8: 3
Sacrificing Ratio = A : 2/3 – 4/15= 6/15
B : 1/3 – 8/15 = 3/15 Gain

A and B are partners sharing the profit the ratio of 3:2. They take C as the new partner, who brings in Rs. 25,000 against capital and Rs. 10,000 against goodwill. New profit sharing ratio is 1:1:1. In what ratio will this amount will be shared among the old partners A & B.
  • a)
    8,000:2,000
  • b)
    5,000:5,000
  • c)
    Old partners will not get any share in the goodwill brought in by C
  • d)
    6,000:4,000
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

And B?

Let's calculate the new capital brought in by A and B after the addition of C as a partner:

A's new capital = A's old capital + A's share of goodwill
= Rs. 0 + Rs. 10,000
= Rs. 10,000

B's new capital = B's old capital + B's share of goodwill
= Rs. 0 + Rs. 10,000
= Rs. 10,000

Now, let's calculate the new profit sharing ratio among A, B, and C:

Total capital = A's new capital + B's new capital + C's capital
= Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 25,000
= Rs. 45,000

A's new profit share = (A's new capital / Total capital) * Total profit
= (Rs. 10,000 / Rs. 45,000) * Total profit
= 2/9 * Total profit

B's new profit share = (B's new capital / Total capital) * Total profit
= (Rs. 10,000 / Rs. 45,000) * Total profit
= 2/9 * Total profit

C's profit share = (C's capital / Total capital) * Total profit
= (Rs. 25,000 / Rs. 45,000) * Total profit
= 5/9 * Total profit

Given that the new profit sharing ratio is 1:1:1, we can equate the profit shares of A and B:

2/9 * Total profit = 1/3 * Total profit

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2/9 * Total profit = 1/3 * Total profit
2/9 = 1/3
2 * 3 = 9 * 1
6 = 9

The equation is not true, which means the profit shares of A and B are not equal. Therefore, the given information is inconsistent.
