Calculation of Revaluation:
To determine the revaluation of B's interest in the firm, the value of the machine and the goodwill needs to be adjusted.
Revalued Machine:
The machine, Bira, is valued at $480,000. This means that the value of the machine has increased by $120,000 ($480,000 - $360,000). This increase in value needs to be added to the capital account of B.
Revalued Goodwill:
The revaluation of the goodwill is not mentioned in the question. Hence, it can be assumed that the goodwill remains unchanged.
Calculation of B's Interest:
To calculate B's interest in the firm after revaluation, the capital account of B needs to be adjusted by adding the increase in value of the machine.
The capital account of B before revaluation is $200,000. Adding the increase in value of the machine ($120,000) to B's capital account gives:
$200,000 + $120,000 = $320,000
So, B's interest in the firm after revaluation is $320,000.
Calculation of C's Interest:
The ratio of profit sharing between A, B, and C is 5:3:2. Since C is retiring, his capital account needs to be calculated.
The total ratio is 5+3+2 = 10.
To calculate C's capital account, we can assume that the total capital of the firm is divided into 10 equal parts. C's share will be 2 parts out of 10.
C's capital account can be calculated as follows:
C's capital account = (Total capital of the firm / Total ratio) * C's share
= ($280,000 + $200,000) / 10 * 2
= $480,000 / 10 * 2
= $96,000
So, C's capital account before revaluation is $96,000.
Conclusion:
After taking into consideration the revaluation of the machine and the calculation of C's interest, the following can be concluded:
- The machine, Bira, is valued at $480,000 after revaluation.
- B's interest in the firm after revaluation is $320,000.
- C's interest in the firm before revaluation is $96,000.
Note: The revaluation of the goodwill is not mentioned in the question, so it can be assumed that the goodwill remains unchanged.
