8. (Profit Distribution) P , Q and R were partners sharing in 2: 2:1. Q Retired and sold his profit share for Rs. 60.000 out of which Rs. 20,000 were paid by P and remaining by R. The profit of firm after Q's retirement was Rs. 6,60,000. Distribute the profit.
Since Contribution made by P is Rs. 20,000 & contribution of R is Rs. 40,000
Gaining ratio = 20,000 : 40,000 = 1 : 2
| P’s gain | = | 2 | x | 1 |
| 5 | 3 | |||
| = | 2 | |||
| 15 |
| & R’s gain | = | 2 | x | 2 |
| 5 | 3 | |||
| = | 4 | |||
| 15 |
| Thus P's New Share | = | 2 | + | 2 |
| 5 | 15 | |||
| = | 8 | |||
| 15 |
| And R’s New Share | = | 1 | + | 4 |
| 5 | 15 | |||
| = | 7 | |||
| 15 |
So, New Profit sharing Ratio = 8 : 7
| P’s Profit share | = | 6,60,000 | x | 8 |
| 15 | ||||
| = | Rs 3,52,000 |
| R’s Profit share | = | 6,60,000 | x | 7 |
| 15 | ||||
| = | Rs 3,08,000 |
