Question 48 Chapter 6 of +2-A
48. X, Y, and Z are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 3: 7. X retired from the firm. Y and Z decided to share future profits in the ratio of 2 : 3. The adjusted Capital Accounts of Y and Z showed a balance of 49,500 and 1,05,750 respectively. The total amount to be paid to X is 1,35,750. This amount is to be paid by Y and Z in a manner that their capitals become
proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio. Calculate the amount to be brought in or to be paid to partners.
Total Capital Before X retirement = 49,500 + 1,05,750 + 1,35,750
= 2,91,000
| Y's New Capital | = | Total Capital Before X retirement | X | Z's share |
| = | 2,91,000 | X | 2 | |
| 5 | ||||
| = | Rs 1,16,400 |
| Z's New Capital | = | Total Capital Before X retirement | X | Z's share |
| = | 2,91,000 | X | 3 | |
| 5 | ||||
| = | Rs 1,74,600 |
Calculation of Addition/withdrawal of Capital by the Y and Z
| Addition/withdrawal in/from Capital A/c | = | New Capital Amount | - | Balance of Capital Amount after all adjustments |
| Addition/withdrawal by Y's in/from Capital A/c | = | 1,16,400 | - | 49,500 |
| = | 66,900/- |
| Addition/withdrawal by Y's in/from Capital A/c | = | 1,74,600 | - | 1,05,750 |
| = | 68,850/- |
