1. To record the sale of B's share to A:
- A's Capital Account Dr. = Rs 3,600
- C's Capital Account Dr. = Rs 4,500
- To B's Capital Account = Rs 8,100
2. To record the retirement of B:
- B's Capital Account Dr. = Rs 8,100
- To A's Capital Account = Rs 3,600
- To C's Capital Account = Rs 4,500
New Profit Sharing Ratio
The new profit sharing ratio after B's retirement can be calculated by adjusting the remaining partners' ratios to the total ratio of 4:3:1.
The total ratio before B's retirement is 4 + 3 + 1 = 8.
To find the new ratio:
- A's share: (4/8) x 100 = 50%
- C's share: (3/8) x 100 = 37.5%
Therefore, the new profit sharing ratio is 50:37.5:1.
Distribution of Profit
The total profit for the year after B's retirement is Rs 10,500.
To calculate the individual profit shares of A and C:
- A's share: (50/100) x Rs 10,500 = Rs 5,250
- C's share: (37.5/100) x Rs 10,500 = Rs 3,937.50
Explanation
1. Journal Entries:
- The sale of B's share to A and C is recorded by debiting A's and C's capital accounts and crediting B's capital account. This reflects the transfer of B's share to A and C.
- The retirement of B is recorded by debiting B's capital account and crediting A's and C's capital accounts. This reflects the adjustment of B's capital upon his retirement.
2. New Profit Sharing Ratio:
- The new profit sharing ratio is determined by adjusting the ratios of the remaining partners (A and C) to the total ratio before B's retirement.
- The adjusted ratios reflect the new distribution of profits among the partners.
3. Distribution of Profit:
- The profit is distributed based on the new profit sharing ratio.
- The individual profit shares are calculated by multiplying the respective ratios with the total profit amount.
