Were Rs. 50,000.
Initially, A and B shared profits in the ratio of 3:2. This means that A would have received 3/5th of the profits and B would have received 2/5th of the profits.
So, A's share of the profits = 3/5 * Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 30,000
B's share of the profits = 2/5 * Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 20,000
Now, they have decided to share profits equally. This means that both A and B will receive 1/2 or 50% of the profits each.
So, A's new share of the profits = 1/2 * Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 25,000
B's new share of the profits = 1/2 * Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 25,000
To calculate the adjustment that needs to be made, we need to find out the difference between their old shares and new shares.
For A:
Adjustment = Rs. 25,000 - Rs. 30,000 = -Rs. 5,000 (negative because A's new share is lower than his old share)
For B:
Adjustment = Rs. 25,000 - Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 5,000
Therefore, A needs to contribute Rs. 5,000 to the firm and B needs to receive Rs. 5,000 from the firm. This adjustment will ensure that both partners now have an equal share in the profits and losses.
