(a) The capital to her credit at the time of her death and interest thereon @ 10% per annum.
(b) Her proportionate share of reserve fund.

2015 – Rs 9,800

The investments were sold for Rs 16,200 and her executors were paid out. Pass the necessary journal entries and write the account of the executors of Bharti.
Answer :




Working Notes:
1. Bharti’s share of profit = Profit is 10% of sales
Sales during the last year for that period were Rs 1,00,000
If sales are Rs 1,00,000, then the profit is Rs 10,000

2. Bharti’s Share of Goodwill
Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit × Number of Years Purchase

Or, 9,000 − 20% of 9,000 = 9,000 − 1,800 = Rs 7,200
Goodwill of the firm = 7,200 × 2 = Rs 14,400

3. Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

Gaining ratio between Arti and Seema = 3:1
4. Interest on Capital for 73 days, i.e. from April 1, 2003 to June 12, 2003
Interest on capital = Amount of Capital × Ratio of Interest × Period =
