Q3: X and Y are partners in a company. Their profit sharing ratio is 5:3. They admit Z into a partnership for 1/4th share. As between themselves, A and B decide to share profits equally in the future. C brings in Rs. 1,20,000 as his capital and Rs. 60,000 as premium. Calculate the sacrificing ratio and record the necessary journal entries on the assumption that the amount of premium brought in by C is retained in the business.
Ans:
Calculation of new profit sharing ratio: C takes a 1/4th share out of 1.
Thus, the remaining profit is 3/4; This is divided equally between A and B
X’s new share = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Y’s new share = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Sacrificed made by X = 5/8 – 3/8 =2/8
Sacrificed made by Y = 3/8 – 3/8 =0
Hence, X alone has sacrificed and as such he alone will be entitled to the full amount of goodwill premium brought in by Z.
