Working Note:-
| Old Ratio of A and B | = | 3 : 2 |
| C is admitted for 1/2th share of profit |
Let the total share of the business = 1
Remaining share of A and B after C’s Admission = Total Share - C’s Share
| Remaining share | = | 1 | - | 1 |
| 2 |
| = | 2 - 1 |
| 2 |
| = | 1 |
| 2 |
To Calculate to New Ratio distribute the remaining share in the old ratio of old partners’
New Ratio = Combined share of A and B X Old Ratio
| J’s Sacrificing Ratio | = | 1 | X | 3 |
| 2 | 4 |
| = | 3 |
| 8 |
| K’s Sacrificing Ratio | = | 1 | X | 1 |
| 2 | 4 |
| = | 1 |
| 8 |
| M’s New Ratio | = | 1 | X | 4 |
| 2 | 4 |
| = | 4 |
| 8 |
New Profit sharing Ratio between A ,B and C = 8 : 1 : 4
C’s Share of Goodwill =1,00,000
Sacrificing Ratio of A and B = 3 : 2
Distribution of Premium for Goodwill (in sacrificing ratio)
| J will get Share of Goodwill | = | M’s Goodwill X Sacrifice share of J |
| = | 1,00,000 | X | 3 |
| 5 | |||
| = | 60,000 |
| K will get Share of Goodwill | = | M’s Goodwill X Sacrifice share of K |
| = | 1,00,000 | X | 2 |

| = | 40,000 |
Distribution of Profit from Revaluation Account (in old ratio)
| J will get | = | 1,00,000 | X | 3 |
