| Premium for Goodwill A/c | Dr | 3,600 | |||

| To B’s Capital A/c | 7,000 | ||||
| To C’s Capital A/c | 4,000 | ||||
| (Being goodwill distributed among the old partners’ in their sacrificing ratio) | |||||
Working Note: -
| Old Ratio of A and B | = | 7 : 5 |
| Sacrificing Ratio of A and B | = | 1/24 : 1/8 |
| = | 1/24 : 3/24 | |
| = | 1 : 3 |
New Share = Old Ratio - Sacrificing Ratio
| A’s New Share | = | 7 | - | 1 |
| 12 | 24 |
| = | 14 - 1 |
| 24 |
| = | 13 |
| 24 |
| B’s Sacrificing Share | = | 5 | - | 3 |
| 12 | 24 |
| = | 10 - 3 |
| 24 |
| = | 7 |
| 24 |
| New Ratio of A, B and C | = | 13 | : | 7 | : | 1 |
| 24 | 24 | 6 |
| = | 13 | : | 7 | : | 4 |
| 24 | 24 | 24 | |||
| = | 13 | : | 7 | : | 4 |
Distribution of C’s share of Goodwill
C’s share of Goodwill = 3,600
| A &B will get share of Goodwill | = | New Partner’s Share of Goodwill X Sacrificing Ratio |
| A will get share of Goodwill | = | 3,600 | X | 1 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | 900 |
| B will get share of Goodwill | = | 3,600 | X | 3 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | 2,700 |
Distribution of Profit earned after C’s admission (in new ratio)
Total Profit = 24,000
Partners’ Share of Profit = Profit X New Ratio
| A’s share | = | 24,000 | X | 13 |
| 24 | ||||
| = | 13,000 |
| B’s share | = | 24,000 | X | 7 |
| 24 | ||||
| = | 7,000 |
| C’s Share | = | 24,000 | X | 4 |
| 24 | ||||
| = | 4,000 |
