As we can see, no information is given as to how A and B are acquiring C's profit share after his retirement, so the new profit sharing ratio between A and B is calculated just by crossing out the C’s share. That is, the new ratio becomes 5 : 4.
∴ New Profit Ratio (A and B) = 5 : 4

Question 19: A, B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4/9 : 3/9 : 2/9.

Record necessary Journal entry for adjustment of goodwill if the new profit-sharing ratio is decided at 5 : 3.
ANSWER:

Working Notes 
i. Calculation of B’s share of goodwill
A, B and C are sharing profits in ratio 4/9 : 3/9 : 2/9
B retires from the firm. Remaining partners agreed to pay him Rs 1,50,000
B’s capital after making necessary adjustments Rs 1,39,200
Therefore, Hidden Goodwill is Rs (1,50,000 – 1,39,200) i.e. Rs 10,800
ii Gaining Ratio
New profit sharing ratio between A and B is 5:3

Thus, B’s share of goodwill will be brought in by A and C in the gaining ratio 13:11 i.e.
