- Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio and Gaining Ratio
Old ratio of Aijun, Bheem and Nakul = 14 : 5 : 6
Bheem surrenders in favour of Arjun = (5/25)th share, Arjun’s new share = (14/25) + (5/25) = (19/25)
New ratio of Aijun and Nakul = 19 : 6
Gaining Ratio = New Share – Old Share
- Calculation of Bheem’s Share of Goodwill
Actual average profit = = ₹ 55,000; Normal profit = ₹ 30,000
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit = 55,000 – 30,000 = ₹ 25,000
