| O’s Capital A/c | Dr | 11,000 | |||
| To M’s Capital A/c | 24,000 | ||||
| (Being share of M’s goodwill adjusted) | |||||
Old Ratio of L, M, and O = 4: 3: 2
M retires from the firm
New Ratio of L, and O = 5 : 3
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio
| L’s Gaining Share | = | 5 | - | 4 |

| O’s Gaining Share | = | 3 | - | 2 |

Firm’s Share of Goodwill = 72,000
M’s Share of Goodwill = Firm’s Goodwill X M's Shares
| M Share of Goodwill | = | 72,000 | X | 3 |
| 9 | ||||

Gaining Ratio of L and O = 13:11
| L will pay for M's Share of Goodwill | = | 24,000 | X | 13 |
| 24 | ||||
| = | 13,000 |
| O will pay for M's Share of Goodwill | = | 24,000 | X | 11 |
