Distribute the Total Capital of the Firm in a new profit-sharing ratio i.e., 3 : 2
A's New Capital= 1,04,600 x 3 / 5
= 62,760
C's New Capital= 1,04,600 x 2 / 5
= 41,840
Cash to be brought by A = New Capital - Old Capital
= 62,760 - 43,900 = 18,860
Cash to be brought by C = New Capital - Old Capital
= 41,840 - 26,500 = 15,340
