Question 18 Chapter 5 of +2-A
18. P and Q are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit R into partnership who acquires 1/5th of his share from P and 4/25th share from Q. Calculate New Profit-sharing Ratio and Sacrificing Ratio.
The solution of Question 18 Chapter 6 of +2-A
| Old Ratio of X and Y | = | 3 : 2 |
| R acquires 1/5th of his share from P | ||
| R acquires 4/25th share from Q |
Note: - In the Question R acquires 1/5 of his from P but 4/25th share from Q So, here we have on ratio and another is value of share so first we to calculate the Ratio and Share acquires from both.
If 4/5th of R’s Share = 4/25th Acquires from Q
| R’s Share | = | 4 | = | 4 |
| 5 | 25 |
| A’s New Ratio | = | 4 | X | 4 |
| 5 | 25 |
| = | 1 |
| 5 |
This is Ratio of share in which R will Acquired share from Q
Share Acquired by R from P = 1/5 X 1/5
| Share Acquired by R from P | = | 1 | X | 1 |
| 5 | 5 |
| = | 1 |
| 25 |
This is value of share which is acquired by R from P’s Share.
| So, R acquired share from P and Q | = | 1 | : | 4 |
| 25 | 25 | |||
| Sacrificing Ratio of P and Q | = | 1 | : | 4 |
New Ratio of Old Partners = Old Ratio - Sacrificed Ratio
| P’s New Profit Share | = | 3 | - | 1 |
| 5 | 25 |
| = | 15 - 1 |
| 25 |
| = | 14 |
| 25 |
| Q’s New Profit Share | = | 2 | X | 4 |
| 5 | 52 |
| = | 10 - 4 |
| 25 |
| = | 6 |
| 25 |
| P’s Sacrificing | Q’s Sacrificing | |||
| R’s Share | = | 1 | X | 4 |
| 25 | 25 |
| = | 5 |
| 25 |
New profit Share ratio after D admission
| New Profit sharing Ratio between All partners | = | 14 | : | 6 | : | 5 |
| 25 | 25 | 25 |
| = | 14 : 6 : 5 |
