Old Ratio A, B and C = 3: 2: 1
B retires from the firm
∴ New Ratio A and C = 3: 1 and
Gaining Ratio = 3 : 1
Goodwill of the firm = Rs 22,000
| B’s Share of Goodwill | = | 22,000 | X | 2 |
| 6 | ||||
| = | Rs 7,333 |
This share of goodwill is to be distributed between A and C in their gaining ratio i.e. 3: 1.
| A ‘ share | = | 7,333 | X | 3 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 5,500 |
| C ‘ share | = | 7,333 | X | 1 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 1,833 |
| Amount to be brought in by A and C | = | Cash to be paid to B + Minimum Balance of Cash | - | Existing Balance of Cash |
| = | 48,200 + 10,000 | - | 18,000 | |
| = | Rs 40,200 |
Combined Capital of A and C after of all adjustments = 35,800 + 28,600 = Rs 64,400
∴ Total Capital of the Firm = Amount to be brought in by A and C + Combined Capital of A and C
= 40,200 + 64,400 = 1,04,600
| A’s New Capital | = | 1,04,600 | X | 3 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 78,450 |
| C ‘ share | = | 1,04,600 | X | 1 |
| 4 | ||||
| = | Rs 26,150 |
