Hidden Goodwill |
When a new partner joins a partnership firm, it is often to benefit the firm by either increasing its capital or enhancing its management. At the time of admission, it is important to update the accounts to reflect any changes in the value of assets, liabilities, and profits or losses that have occurred but not yet been recorded. This ensures that the Balance Sheet is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, the value of goodwill must be assessed and properly accounted for in the books.

Parts of Memorandum Revaluation Account:
Alternative Approach:
Journal Entries:
If the credit side of the Memorandum Revaluation Account is greater than the debit side, it indicates a profit. This profit should be allocated to the old Partner’s Capital Accounts based on the old profit sharing ratio. The journal entry for this is:
If the debit side of the Memorandum Revaluation Account is higher than the credit side, it signifies a loss. This loss should also be transferred to the old Partner’s Capital Accounts according to the old profit sharing ratio. The journal entry will be:
After completing the above steps, reverse entries are needed for:
The profit from revaluation should be allocated to all Partners’ Capital Accounts using the new profit sharing ratio. The journal entry for this is:
Similarly, any loss from revaluation should also be transferred to all Partners’ Capital Accounts based on the new profit sharing ratio. The journal entry will be:
It is important to remember that if there is a profit shown in the first half of the Memorandum Revaluation Account, the second half must reflect a loss. Conversely, if the first half shows a loss, then the second half must show a profit.
When preparing a Memorandum Revaluation Account, the book values of assets and liabilities remain unchanged. Instead, the resulting profit or loss from the revaluation is adjusted through the Partners’ Capital Accounts. This process allows the capital invested by the incoming partner to represent the current fair value of the partnership, despite the book values remaining the same in the accounts.
If partners prefer to display assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at their original values without creating a Revaluation Account, any changes (increases or decreases) in asset and liability values may be directly adjusted through the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

ILLUSTRATION 3
A and B are partners in a firm, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. The Balance Sheet of A and B as on 1.1.2022 was as follows:
‘C’ was admitted to the firm on the above date on the following terms:
(i) C is admitted for 1/6 share in the future profits and to introduce a capital of ₹25,000.
(ii) The new profit sharing ratio of A, B and C will be 3:2:1 respectively.
(iii) ‘C’ is unable to bring in cash for his share of goodwill, they decide to calculate goodwill on the basis of C’s share in the profits and the capital contribution made by him to the firm.
(iv) Furniture is to be written down by ₹ 870 and Inventory to be depreciated by 5%. A provision is required for trade receivables @ 5% for bad debts. A provision would also be made for outstanding wages for ₹ 1,560. The value of buildings having appreciated be brought upto₹ 29,200. The value of investments is increased by ₹ 450.
(v) It is found that the trade payables included a sum of ₹ 1,400, which is not to be paid off. Prepare the following:
(i) Revaluation account.
(ii) Partners’ capital accounts.
SOLUTION
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of goodwill:
C’s contribution of ₹ 25,000 consists of only 1/6th of capital.
Therefore, total capital of firm should be ₹ 25,000 x 6 = ₹ 1,50,000
But combined capital of A, B and C amounts ₹ 44,000 + 36,000 + 25,000 = ₹ 1,05,000
Thus, the hidden goodwill of the firm is ₹ 45,000 (` 1,50,000- ₹ 1,05,000).
C's share 1/6th = 7,500
Goodwill will be shared by A & B in their sacrificing ratio.2. Calculation of sacrificing ratio
Therefore,
A will get = ₹ 45,000 × 3 /30 = ₹ 4,500;
B will get = ₹ 45,000 × 2 /30 = ₹ 3,000; and
C will be debited on account of goodwill = ₹45,000 × 1/6 = ₹ 7,500
When a new partner joins a partnership, any reserves or similar items shown in the Balance Sheet should be distributed to the capital accounts of the old partners. This distribution is done according to the old profit-sharing ratio.

Prepare (i) Revaluation Account, (ii) The Capital Accounts of the partners, (iii) Balance Sheet of the firm after admission of Mr. Mistri.
SOLUTION
Working Note:
Calculation of sacrificing ratio
Sacrifice by Mr. Dalal and Mr. Banerji= ₹ 15,000× 1/20 = ₹ 1,000 each
Computation of New profit sharing ratio- Cases
Case I: When new partner’s share is given but the question is silent about the sacrifice made by the old partners: In this case it is assumed that the old partner will share the remaining share in their old profit sharing ratio.
Example: A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:2. They admit C for 1/3 share in future profits. Calculate the new ratio.
Solution
Share in Firm = 1
C’s Share = 1/3
Remaining Profit = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
This remaining share of 2/3 is divided between A and B in the ratio 3:2
So A’s share = 2/3 × 3/5 = 6/15
B’s share = 2/3 × 2/5 = 4/15
C’s share = 1/3 × 5/5 = 5/15
New ratio = 6/15: 4/15: 5/15 = 6:4:5
Case II: When new partner purchases his share from old partner’s in a particular ratio: In this case the new ratio of the old partners will be calculated by deducted the proportion given to the new partner from the shares of old partner.
Example: A and B are partners sharing in the ratio 3:2. They admit C as a new partner for 1/3rd share in future profits which he gets 1/9 from A and 2/9 from B. Calculate the new ratio.
Solution
A’s old share = 3/5; A sacrifice in favour of C = 1/9
So A’s new share = 3/5 – 1/9 = 22/45
B’s old share = 2/5; B sacrifice in favour of C = 2/9
So B’s new share = 2/5 – 2/9 = 8/45
C’s new share = 3/9 x 5/15 = 15/45
New ratio = 22: 8: 15
Case III: When the old partners surrender a particular fraction of their share in favour of new partner: In this case following steps are followed:
1. Determine the share surrendered by the old partners.
2. Find the new share of the old partners by deducting share surrendered from their old share.
3. Calculate share of the new partner by taking the sum of surrendered share of old partners.
4. Calculate the new ratio.
Example: A and B are partners sharing in the ratio 3:2. They admit C as the new partner. A surrenders 1/3rd of his share and B surrenders 2/3rd of his share in favour of C. calculate the new ratio.
Solution
A’s old share = 3/5; A surrender in favour of C = 3/5 x 1/3 = 3/15
A’s new share = 3/5 - 3/15 = 6/15
B’s old share = 2/5; B surrender in favour of C = 2/5 x 2/3 = 4/15
B’s new share = 2/5 - 4/15 = 2/15
C’s share = 3/15 + 4/15 = 7/15
New ratio = 6:2:7
Case IV: When the new partner acquires his share entirely from any one partner: In this case the sacrificing partner share is calculated by deducting his sacrifice from his old share.
Example: A and B are partners sharing in the ratio 3:2. They admit C for 1/5th share in profits which he acquires entirely from A. Calculate the new ratio.
Solution
A’s old share = 3/5; Sacrifice in favour of C = 1/5
A’s new share = 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5
B’s share = 2/5
C’s share = 1/5
New ratio = 2:2:1
Case V: When the new partner acquires his share from the old partners in the certain ratio: In this the sacrifice of each partner is deducted from their old shares.
Example: A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:2. C is admitted for 1/5th share which he acquires from A and B in the ratio of 2:1. Calculate the new ratio.
Solution
A’s old share = 3/5, A’s sacrifice = 1/5 × 2/3 = 2/15
A’s new share = 3/5 - 2/15 = 7/15
B’s old share = 2/5, B’s sacrifice = 1/5 × 1/3 = 1/15
B’s new share = 2/5 - 1/15 = 5/15
C’s share = 1/5 × 3/3 = 3/15
New ratio = 7:5:3
Sacrificing Partners
Sacrificing Ratio
Gaining Partners
Gaining Ratio
The ratio in which the partners have agreed to gain their shares in profit from the other partner or partners, is known as gaining ratio. This ratio is calculated by taking out the difference between new profit shares and old profit shares
Example: X and Y are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 5:3. They admit Z into partnership. The new ratio 3:2:1. Calculate the Sacrificing Ratio.
Solution
X’s sacrifice = X’s old share - X’s new ratio = 5/8 – 3/6 = 6/48
Y’s sacrifice = Y’s old share - Y’s new ratio = 3/8 – 2/6 = 2/48
Thus, sacrificing ratio = 6:2 or 3:1
Example: A, B and C are sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and the sacrificing ratio in each of the following alternative cases:
Case (a) If C acquires 1/10th share from B
Case (b) If C acquired 1/10th share equally from A and B
Case (c) If C’s share is increased by 1/10th share by acquiring from A.
Case (d) If C’s share is increased to 3/10th by acquiring from B.
Case (e) if A, B and C decide to share future profits and losses in the ratio of 5:2:3.
Case (f) if A, B and C decide to share future profits and losses in the ratio of 2:3:5.
Case (g) if A, B and C decide to share future profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1:2.
Case (h) if A, B and C decide to share future profits and losses equally.
Case(i) If A , B and C decide that the future profit sharing ratio between B and C shall be the same as existing between A and B
Solution
New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 5 : 2 : 3
Share sacrificed by B = 1/10New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 9 : 5 : 6
Sacrificing ratio of A and B = 1 : 1New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 4 : 3 : 3
Share sacrificed by A = 1/10
Share acquired by C = New Share – Old share = 3/10 -2/10 = 1/10New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 5 : 2 : 3
Share sacrificed by B = 1/10C gains by 1/10th share and B sacrifice 1/10th Share
C gains by 3/10th share and A sacrifice 3/10th Share
[Intext Question]C gains by 2/10th share and A sacrifices 1/10th Share &B sacrifices 1/10th share.
B gains by 1/30th share, C gains by 4/30th share and A sacrifices by 5/30th Share
Case (i)
Ratio of A and B= 5 : 3
Ratio of B and C should be 5 : 3
Since B’s share in relation to A is 3/5 or 60% of A’s share, C’s share should also be 60% of B’s share
Thus C’s share (60% of 3) = 1.8
New ratio of A, B and C = 5 : 3 : 1.8 or 25 : 15 : 9C sacrifices by 8/490 and A gains by 5/490 and B gains by 3/490
ILLUSTRATION 5
A and B are in partnership sharing profits and losses at the ratio 3:2. They take C as a new partner. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio if -
(i) C purchases 1/10 share from A
(ii) A and B agree to sacrifice 1/10th share to C in the ratio of 2: 3
(iii) Simply gets 1/10th share of profit.
SOLUTION
(i) New profit sharing ratio:
A = 3/5 – 1/10 = 5/10
B = 2/5 i.e. 4/10
C = 1/10
i.e. 5:4: 1(ii) A’s sacrifice 1/10× 2/5 = 2/50
B’s sacrifice 1/10 × 3/5 = 3/50New profit sharing ratio
A = 3/5 – 2/50 = 28/50
B = 2/5 – 3/50 = 17/50
C = 1/10 i.e. 5/50
i.e. 28:17: 5
(iii) Let total share be 1
C’s share=1/10
Remaining share=1-1/10=9/10
Distribution:
A = 9/10 × 3/5 = 27/50
B = 9/10 × 2/5 = 18/50
C = 1/10. i.e. = 5/50
i.e. 27:18: 5

ILLUSTRATION 7
A and B are partners of X llp. sharing profits and losses in 3:2 ratio between themselves. On 31st March, 2022, the balance sheet of the firm was as follows:
X agrees to join the business on the following conditions as and from 1.4.2022:
(a) He will introduce ₹ 25,000 as his capital and pay ₹ 15,000 to the partners as premium for goodwill for 1/3rd share of the future profits of the firm.
(b) A revaluation of assets of the firm will be made by reducing the value of plant and machinery to ₹ 15,000, Inventory by 10%, furniture and fitting by ₹ 1,000 and by making a provision of bad and doubtful debts at ` 750 on trade receivables.
Prepare profit and loss adjustment account, capital accounts of partners including the incoming partner X assuming that the relative ratios of the old partners will be in equal proportion after admission.
SOLUTION
Working Notes:
(i) New profit sharing ratio:
On admission of X who will be entitled to 1/3rd share of the future profits of the firm. A and B would share the remaining 2/3rd share in equal proportion i.e. 1:1.
A: 2/3 x 1/2 = 1/3
B: 2/3 x 1/2 = 1/3
X:1/3
A, B and X would share profits and losses in equal ratio.
(ii) Adjustment of goodwill:
X pays ` 15,000 as premium for goodwill for 1/3rd share of the future profits.
Thus, total value of goodwill is ` 15,000 x 3 i.e. ` 45,000
Sacrificing ratio:
A: 3/5 - 1/3 = 4/15
A: 2/5 - 1/3 = 1/15
Hence, sacrificing ratio is 4:1
Adjustment of X’s share of goodwill through existing partners’ capital accounts in the profit sacrificing ratio:
When the value of the goodwill of the firm is not specifically given, the value of goodwill has to be inferred as follows:

SOLUTION
Workings:
(1) Old Profit Sharing Ratio:1: 1
(2) New Profit Sharing Ratio: 1:1:1
(3) C’s share of capital ₹ 1,35,000 × 1/3 = ₹ 45,000
(4) Goodwill ₹ 60,000 – ₹ 45,000 = ₹ 15,000 for 1/3rd share.
Total Goodwill: ₹15,000 × 3 = ₹ 45,000
Note : In this problem it is mentioned that total capital should be at ₹ 1,35,000 hence excess capital is to be withdrawn by partners hence third entry is passed.
