| To B’s Capital A/c | 18,750 | ||||
| (Being goodwill distributed among the old partners’ in their sacrificing ratio) | |||||
| Old Ratio of B and C | = | 3 : 1 |
| D is admitted for 1/3th share of profit |
Let the total share of the business = 1

| New Ratio of B, C, and D | = | 1 : 1 : 1 |
Sacrificing Share = Old Ratio - New Ratio

| = | 9 - 4 |
| 12 |
| = | 5 | Sacrifice |
| 12 |
