Working Note:
Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio:
Remaining Share for Old partners = Total Profit - Share of New Partner
= 1 - 1/4
=4-1/4
=3/4
Now, Distribute the remaining share among old Partners :
New Share of Partner = Remaining Share X Old Share of Partner
New Share of A = 3/4 X 3/5
= 9/20
New Share of B = 3/4 X 2/5
= 6/20
Now make the same denominator of All partners
So, C's New Ratio = 1/4 X 5/5
= 5/20
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 9:6:5
Now, Calculate the Closing balance of A and B capital according to the new profit-sharing ratio
So, Firstly Calculate:
Total Capital of Firm = Amount invested by the New Partner X Reciprocal of Share of New Partner
= 20,000 X 4/1
= 80,000/-
Now Calculate:
A's New Capital Balance = Total Capital of Firm X A's New Share
= 80,000 X 9/20
= 36,000/-
B's New Capital Balance = Total Capital of Firm X B's New Share
= 80,000 X 6/20
= 24,000/-
Now according to the question, we have to adjust the capital balance with the current account.
