The solution of Question 25 Chapter 6 of +2-A
| Date | Particulars |
L.F. | Debit | Credit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash A/c | Dr | 52,000 | |||
| To C’s Capital A/c | 40,000 | ||||
| To Premium for Goodwill A/c | 12,000 | ||||
| (Being C brought his share of goodwill) | |||||
| Premium for Goodwill A/c | Dr | 12,000 | |||
| To A’s Capital A/c | 6,000 | ||||
| To B’s Capital A/c | 6,000 | ||||
| (Being goodwill distributed among the old partners’ in their sacrificing ratio) | |||||
Working Note: -
| Old Ratio of A and B | = | 5 : 3 |
| Sacrificing Ratio of A and B | = | 1/10 : 1/10 |
New Share = Old Ratio - Sacrificing Ratio
| A’s New Share | = | 5 | - | 1 |
| 8 | 10 |
| = | 25 - 4 |
| 40 |
| = | 21 |
| 40 |
| B’s Sacrificing Share | = | 3 | - | 1 |
| 8 | 10 |
| = | 15 - 4 |
| 40 |
| = | 11 |
| 40 |
| New Ratio of A, B and C | = | 21 | : | 11 | : | 1 |
| 40 | 40 | 5 |
| = | 21 | : | 11 | : | 8 |
| 40 | 40 | 40 | |||
| = | 21 | : | 11 | : | 8 |
Distribution of C’s share of Goodwill
C’s share of Goodwill
| A &B will get share of Goodwill | = | New Partner’s Share of Goodwill X Sacrificing Ratio |
| = | 12,000 | X | 1 |
| 2 | |||
| = | 6000 each |
