a
Old Ratio R ,S and M = 2 : 2 : 1
M retires from the firm.
| His profit share | = | 1 |
| 5 |
M’s share taken by R and S in ratio of 1 : 2
| Share taken by R | = | 1 | X | 1 |
| 5 | 3 |
| = | 1 |
| 15 |
| Share taken by S | = | 1 | X | 2 |
| 5 | 3 |
| = | 2 |
| 15 |
New Ratio = Old Ratio + Share acquired from M
| R's New Share | = | 2 | + | 1 |
| 5 | 15 |
| = | 6 + 1 |
| 15 |
| = | 7 |
| 15 |
| S's New Share | = | 2 | + | 2 |
| 5 | 15 |
| = | 6 + 2 |
| 15 |
| = | 8 |
| 15 |
∴ New Profit Ratio R and S = 7 : 8
