Old Ratio of X, Y, and Z = 3: 1: 2
Z retires from the firm.
New Ratio is not given in the question that’s why to assume that the old ratio left after the retirement of Z will be their new ratio and then gaining will become the same with the new ratio. We will show you by calculating it as following: -
New Ratio of X and Y = 3:1
| X's Gaining Share | = | 3 | - | 3 |
| 4 | 6 | |||
| = | 9 | - | 6 | |
| 12 | ||||
| = | 3 | |||
| 12 | ||||
| Y's Gaining Share | = | 1 | - | 1 |
| 4 | 6 | |||
| = | 3 | - | 2 | |
| 12 | ||||
| = | 1 | |||
| 12 | ||||
Gaining Ratio = 3:1
Adjustment of Goodwill: -
Goodwill of the firm = Rs 21,000
| Z's Share of Goodwill | = | Firm's Goodwill | X | Z's share |
| = | 21,000 | X | 2 | |
| 6 | ||||
| = | Rs 7,000 |
Gaining Ratio = 3: 1
| X will pay | = | Z’s Goodwill | X |
Share of X |
| = | 7,000 | X | 3 | |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 5,250 |
| Y will pay | = | Z’s Goodwill | X |
Share of Y |
| = | 7,000 | X | 3 | |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 1,750 |
| Balance of Capital Amount after all adjustments | = | Opening Balance of Capital Account | + | All Credits | - | All Debits | |
| Balance of X’s Capital Amount after all adjustments | = | 30,000 | + | 6,000 | + | 3,480 | - | 5,250 | ||
| = | 34,230/- | |||||||||
| Balance of Y’s Capital Amount after all adjustments | = | 20,000 | + | 2,000 | + | 1,160 | - | 1,750 | ||
| = | 21,410/- | |||||||||
| Total Capital of the firm | = | X's Capital Balance | + | Y's Capital Balance |
| = | 34,230 | + | 21,410 | |
| = | 55,640/- |
The total capital of the Firm= Rs 55,640
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3:1
| X's New Capital | = | Firm’s New Capital | X |
Share of X |
| = | 55,640 | X | 3 | |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 41,730/- |
| Y's New Capital | = | Firm’s new Capital | X | Share of Y |
| = | 55,640 | X | 1 | |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 13,910/- |
Calculation of Addition/withdrawal of Capital by the X and Y
|
Addition/withdrawal by X's in/from Capital A/c |
= | New Capital Amount | - | Balance of Capital Amount after all adjustments |
| = | 41,730 | - | 34,230 | |
| = | 7,500/- |
| Addition/withdrawal by Y's in/from Capital A/c | = | New Capital Amount | - | Balance of Capital Amount after all adjustments |
| = | 13,910 | - | 21,410 | |
| = | (-)7,500/- |
The negative value so he will withdrawal Capital.
